the saltwater kiss

I have secrets

I probably should not mention

But I know I can trust you

You have good intention

So now that I have you

I have your attention

Of the things that we do

In the dark without clothes

It’s not what you think 

Or where your mind goes

When did it begin? 

The moment of sin? 

This passionate affair 

That I’m going to share

The sun went missing

The sky was pissing

We went to the fjord 

For saltwater kissing 

It’s not at all what I planned

I prefer warm water and beaches with sand

I meant to focus on skills and training

Not jumping off docks

In November when it’s raining

Not running away

When the pressure is draining

I suppose I should do a bit more explaining

When you get a taste of the Sørenga dive

It’s the moment of contact when you feel so alive

Everything vanishes for your soul to revive

One saltwater kiss and I fell for November

The saltwater in the dark with the sparks and the embers

By far the most unconditional of all of my loves

Putting up with wool socks and maybe even wool gloves

The dark brought this gift completely unexpected 

I never would have guessed or even connected 

Snow never disappoints when it makes an appearance

But in November it’s fickle and teases with incoherence

December with holidays is more consistent, lighter and kind 

But even if it’s dark, just keep an open mind

Just pay attention, you never know what you’ll find

There’s more to explore between the sheets of rain in November

Hope the snow won’t just come and go but will stay in December

There’s more to discover over and under the white covers

Do you think it’s cheating, if you have multiple, monthly lovers?
