Feel Good Ink

Ease in, as if love were a warm bath
Nay, face the waves, swept in crisp awakening
Washing the kilt from the warrior, clinging on tee shirt
Actually to face the power of this sea, preparedly
Leave external doubt upon the beach

Dive in, without fret, more heart and less net
Follow the tide, receding with the sweep of your hand
New wave thoughts, hooking up is for the frail
I swim in storms, float in tears, dive in depths
Floaties flinch in the whirlpool pinch of a dream

Laid back, worriless of the outcome
Later, there is surf to sand still hot holding hand, the sun
We carry degrees Fahrenheit there within us
Soothing the water, as it swirls to conform
What is it that you seek, in kisses warm?
If not the rising tide of boundless emotions

The volume of these feelings scintillate the notions
That love is a sea of feel good ink

"The volume of these feelings scintillate the notions

Ain't that the truth!
Great write Kathy.

The whole write is a wild painting, a vivid love poem, a tidal wave if you will, of indeed, feel good ink. Fabulous writing. I wish I had scenes like that in my mind!

I know this song:

Dive into the curlicue
of the waves come unto you
feel the sting of frothy wing
as it slaps your "anything"

Anywhere and everywhere
bubbles rising mock despair
as you ride these tides as if
you born to nakedness

as natural as this!



and you were right--it felt GOOD!



oh I wanna seeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa

ThisDiamond,

I'd try this left justified, and in black ink.  At present it's rather difficult to read.

I especially like:

“.....swept in crisp awakening” ;

“face the power of this sea.....
Leave external doubt upon the beach”;

“Follow the tide, receding with the sweep of your hand”;

“I swim in storms, float in tears, dive in depths”

Ah...to let the body rise and fall with each wave and see where it can take you...As I read this poem I saw different visions with each reading...I love it...so wise...*Big Hugs*
