The Lost Pearl

I dropped a pearl once in a faraway path on an uphill dusk 
As we ran up counting crashing waves and rustling branches 
Venus sprayed that playful night with her dark-toned musk

On lustful breasts you had but written of a sacred bond
Setting aflame promises of an age to come and of bustling chances 
Soft cotton kisses, sweet whispers, voices from within and beyond

And all at once the world sank and turned time's runaway hand
The night sky too filled with a zillion unbeleiving  glances 
We cleared time's debt then with my lost pearl and a fistful of sand
