Water from Naked by Billy Dettmer

Water

I watched you rising from the water
I watched it flowing from your skin
And though I tried to say something
I couldn’t think of anything

I saw you swimming through the water
I saw the way your body moved
Though there were people all around me
There was only me and you

In the water
And the water flowed

I watched you playing with the children
I saw you kiss one once or twice
My eyes were nearly out of focus
Thinking wouldn’t that be nice

I couldn’t sleep that night for trying
I saw you naked in the rain
I saw you drink it, saw it running through your hair
I have to see you once again

In the water
Let the water flow

I can see your skin now
I could drink from you
Taste the water running softly from your breast
And flowing over you
I can see my hands now
Wiping water from your face
Feel the texture of your skin beneath my hands
While the water wraps you up in its embrace

Oh the water
Let the water flow
