i walk down to the seaside
heeding the ocean’s call
dressed in sweep of crinoline
corset strung and taut
feet shod in suitable shoes
hair upswept in tidy chignon
clothed as a lady demure
with all my proper on

the ocean shimmers in invitation
swaying in time to the breeze’s serenade
wrapped in the arms of the golden moon
draped in the kisses of gilded blue hues

whispers . . .

temptation . . .

calling from the sea . . .

“come -  feel me”


i shed my shoes
and feel the wrap of sand
swallowing my toes

and i walk

the light of the moon cascades upon me
speaking madness to my mind
bidding me shed my lady
and stand bare to his eyes

and i answer

i reach and pull the pins from my hair
cascades of chestnut falling
and hands – my own? – unlace the strings
that hold my sin concealed

“yes” the moon cries

“come” the sea sighs


and crinoline falls in silver pools

bare now – glowing beneath moon’s caress
skin dewy in ocean’s misted kiss
i wade into the liquid seduction
that envelops me like famished lips
taking in the flavor of a lover

“at last” the moon laughs

“i taste you” smiles the sea


and within their primal embrace

i drown in the pagan of me

awash in unbridled ecstasy

of a woman

s.a.t.

DANG! this is so sensual, such a call to abandon those lady trappings
Makes me want to head for the ocean, right now.
A gorgeous write, Susan.

Thanks Kacey - nothing like a good hot bath to get the images flowing - wish it were the ocean

I enjoyed the assonance and allits in this...A lovely  write of vocabulary, word play, color and imagery...a passionate mixing of ocean and emotion...quite the high inspire from thy muse. Well done poetess.

when you walked into the room it felt like time was standing still.
and I felt fascination...then my heart gave me away.

Probably one of the most sensual writes I have had the pleasure to read.  Not only is it written in a soft demure of presentation, but the constuction of it is superb.  Your line breaks give appropriate pause, your vocabulary gives it the proper feel, and your descriptive lines and phrases are vivid to the point of bring all the senses into play enveloping the reader.  I commend you on an excellent write and one that sets the bounds of your talent.
