DEEP SECRETS

Sea Passion

A pair of expert free divers

High fly into the clear aqua sea

They splash in unison

Deep cavities in the water

Wide circles of ripples

Shapes obscure in the abyss

Bubbles surge to the surface

 

In the dark blue deep

Figures interweave

Hair swings back

Plucked by the current

Immerse in freedom

Envelop in sensual desire

Seek intimacy they both covet

 

Sea creatures embrace them

Who thirst equally

lovers kiss among

The psychedelic colors of swimming species

Who encircle them and share their secrets

Could this be the real reason Jacque Cousteau loved scuba diving so much? Ha! And we thought he just wanted to see some fish. Quite a good and interesting poem, this is.

Thanks for reviewing my friend, I like your take on it.
Best, B.

Great job of pairing image with words. Knowing you, having read you quite a bit, I am guessing you are practicing writing in imagery, and I can also detect your true tendency, which is witing in a fairly literal style. I love watching you let go of your usual style as you try to draw closer & closer to another. We all need to do this, to stretch our possibilities! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

This is great Betty and full of lovely images. I guess even for free divers the passion can't last long. I've done a little snorkeling in tropical seas and the experience of swimming amongst the stunning creatures is unforgetable.
Hope you are well.
All the best,
Alan

Most welcome!

This very descriptive offering is full of sensuous imagery. It is an erotic concept which I had never imagined. It gives new meaning to the term "Rapture of the Deep."

[Betty Hermelee]

P.S. COOL JOE, CHP 8 is up and 9 coming...gets even better

Who are you now???

[poetgurl]

My aunt Ang-X gave me her account to use. My name is Kari, I am Just Kim's Daughter. My Aunt left this site because she went back to work. I am sorry for the confusion.

[Betty Hermelee]

So Kari is “ Just Kim”?

[Betty Hermelee]

Kari is Just Kim’s daughter!

[poetgurl]

I'm her daughter, Just Kim's daughter, Ang-X Niece.
She left, her job is very demanding. She is letting me use her account. My mom wants to see how I handle social media.

[Betty Hermelee]

Thank you so much, now I know who you are!!!
