I don’t like to post too many things in a row but I just finished this and I want to get it out. Impatient me.

Upon a Perfumed Sea

When we touch
there’s a galaxy of sensations
that I’ve never known before
it’s too much
but in my heart of hearts
I’ll always burn for more

Beyond my wildest dreams
you’ll see me
floating serenely
upon a perfumed sea

When we speak
clumsy words they obscure meaning
like a fog rolling ashore
I get weak
but in my stirred up soul
I’m getting ready to roar

Beneath your sweet moon beams
you’ll find me
floating contentedly
upon a perfumed sea

A night sky heavy with rain and broken sleep
into the creases of my furrowed brow you creep
smoothing out the lines as you go
darling you should have told me I needed you so
if all is illusion I’ll not shatter this for the world
living is sweet and easy in the eyes of the girl
you love more than you love yourself
here, take this, my dusty heart off the shelf

Beyond my wildest dreams
you’ll see me
floating serenely
upon a perfumed sea

And beneath you sweet moon beams
you’ll find me
floating contentedly
upon a perfumed sea

Above a cologne sky
it’s just the clouds, the stars and you and I
love is given freely
a glow so brilliant it had to be

So you’ll see me
floating so happily
upon a perfumed sea

"Just being alive, it can really hurt,
and these moments given are a gift from time"-Kate Bush, 'Moments of Pleasure'

This made me smile inside. You captured the essence of love at its most intoxicating and there is no potion more powerful. Sail on! ~L

I agree you captured it and sounds like a nice voyage to make.

As long as you keep posting such as this, you should post as often as you want.

We see the light of those who find the world has passed them by, too late to save a dream that's growing cold
