Sometimes I close my eyes and think back to the time When this all began to take over me and pull me in Just like standing on the sandy warm beach and listening As the waves bring the warm water over the toes and feet Creating a thirst sensation that your body longs for more And you know it won't be long before you give in Just as the sand moves under your feet, the direction changes And you find yourself torn between the reality of what is going on But the desire and need to be drenched are much stronger Do you dare take the chance and walk out into the call of the sea Or maybe you should run back to the comfort you know so well How can you know which way to go, if only to listen to the sound of your heart With the waves getting stronger and your desire growing too And the warmth of the breeze like his breath on the back of your neck Suddenly you feel the rushing water pull you down and begin to move Just as the waves come to the shore and back out to the sea again The body gives in to the current and allows itself to be drawn out beyond Once out from the feel of the ground under the feet allowing the motion to carry This once frightened body into the wide open sea with all it's wonders To a place I have never been before but dare to travel because it feels so right The arms don't fight to get away, the feet don't move to run from this place The heart and soul already know this is where this person belongs And this body shall die drowning in this sea of love. |

I think this deserves to be at the top again, so here it goes ! What an emotional depth I feel when I read this ! It's like I'm there - I've been there!!! You painted the picture so wonderfully! ------------------ - poet FemmeFatale "The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone..." Henrik Ibsen (1826-1906) Norwegian dramatist lyric poet |
