La Espuma De Mi Suenos by Barry Stepe

La Espuma De Mi Suenos

The image of you splashes onto the shore

in a spray of hot sea foam,

la espuma de mi suenos,

close enough to graze the essence,

the living marrow

of all the joy

that lives inside me.


Your cloudless eyes,

two suns burning in fiery concentration

laugh brilliantly

in splintered darts of circular light.


With the steady slur of the surf,

hot hands gently pull me out to sea,

to taste the roses of the sun

embedded in the flavors

of foreign lands.


I search for you

through the skin of the transparent water

as patiently as the landscape

longs for a horizon

to find its peace.


Love invades this island with a powerful, sensual breeze

adding delightful colors to our painted hearts

and blanketing us

in sheets of unfolding dreams.


Dreams that whisper hints of land

when we are far at sea,

dreams that cup the hands,

that cover the lips,

that tastes like steam

rising towards our souls

and putting them at ease.


Love that puts the day to rest

and marks it with delicate tranquility

that is the night.
