Swept Away

Sweet splendor of silver light
upon creamy mist of ocean night
an enchanting trail in midnight hues
crushing waves upon my breast
in succulent waves of limpid blue
silver threads anchor me to you,
I rest my head in echoes of whispers
upon your shoulders
as a thousand stars sprinkle tender kisses,
clinging in the desire of your arms
I’m swept away in flames

I have to say that this is a very splendid piece of writing, but this graphic that you added just caught me up in it, and the whole effect is sensational. (Especially since I would give anything to be on that nice warm beach right about now, instead of the middle of an Alaskan blizzard!!!) Thanks for the warm thoughts and images, my friend!!

Live...Love...Be grateful for both!!

Poe~ Thank you kindly

Sunny~ So glad this gave you a bit of sunshine! Sorry you have to be in a blizzard. I live in Florida and have never been in blizzard conditions, so I can only imagine how cold this must be...
I heard Alaska is beautiful

==================
Deb, this is stunning...both the imagery and the passion of the emotions..
beautiful peaceful sensual writing
very well done poetess

In the evening when you see my eyes
Looking back at you no disguise
Im not sure who you think youll see
Im just hoping youll still know that its me

Cheeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzz.....look who just blossomed all over the page in poetic splendor.
Who says that water will extinquish a flame? I think you just proved that one wrong in a thousand ways. Very lovely images born in this one my poetic friend and I loved the cadence in this beautiful piece. Library time for this one.

Ummm...all I can say is whoa....this is outrageous...gives me a wonderful image! I absolutely love this!! Great graphic, too!

everytime I close my eyes, I see your face, I taste you on my lips...
every night I fantasize that I can feel you on my fingertips...

Delightful reading! So well done and sensual...good work!!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.
