Remembering an Irish Sea

And there you stand upon a sea shell
Pearl ivory skin reflecting silken stars
I fell into those lovely brown eyes smiling
And lost my heart to lips of radient dyes

The fire pits on windy moonless evenings
Saw you dance with fervent life upon the air
I watch enthralled with mounting inner burning
The waves in rhythm with the blood of searing tears

The dance of summers mounting tensions
Begin with fires on the opal crust of rocky shores
You stand there like a ghostly crimson vision
An angel lost to salty music of ancient harbour lore

I enhale the night of deeply salted seaside memories
And take the dream of past romantic wanting love
And there you’ll dance on a rythmic firery evening..
And I'll love you in my way, Remembering an Irish Sea.

P-man the imagery in this is stunning and hauntingly beautiful...

very very nice...well done poet of the pedestals

Excellent imagery throughout....well done my Maritime friend!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

Parker, this is so sadly beautiful with superb imagery and outpouring of haunting reminiscing, this is one of your best! Perhaps someday, you will record this poem with your own voice for us! And yes, I remember your voice! That's why I love Canadian men

your sexy, soft voice would bring this poem to life perfectly!

~Into my library this goes~

Take care,
Melissa~

Melissa, thank you.... I do want to record a few in the last two months... but my editing software seems to have expired on me... damn and I haven't figured out how to circumvent it yet.
You know you live way to close to me... maybe i'll just have to come over and whisper it in your ear.

Charisma dear poet thank you for that.
