free spirits

artwork by studio delafosse on etsy.com

free spirits come as you are
or as you would like to actually
what you have heard is true
this sea of sighs leads to a place
even the tour books dare not elaborate on

atmospheric pressure is not measured by isobars here
only by a sensual caress
a heady goblet of wine begs you
to touch its fragile wet rim
exactly where crimson lipstick left its tattoo

those who swim through this sea of cerulean fantasy
emerge dancing to the music of infinite desire
be not impetuous or overly enthusiastic
the crescendo is worth the wait

moist limbs entwined with magic vines of lust
kneel between the heart and mind
learning to excel at seduction
sure, the force pulls you
yet you are a willing traveler
do you dare? of course you do!
so free spirits, come as you are

this puts me in a place i have felt before, but even then it was out of place. at the time, i felt born in the wrong time. i wish we could pick and choose decades at different times in our lives that suit us and our growth at the time. kind of like worldly travel, except time travel. hopping in the time vortex manipulator. ill be back in 1970, but, don't wait up.

love this!

What a great review. Thank you, Jesse. Lydi**

I'm enchanted by this write.... So many sensual perceptions entangled in a vineyard thriving on creation.
The desire to procreate is swinging from vine to vine in a garden of desire.
An invitation to eat wholeheartedly on the procreational force for sustainability.

The greenery here so perfectly perceptional.

Thanks so much, Kate. Lydi**

Free spirits! I thought you were offering me a bottle of whiskey lol!

Seriously another wonderful sensual piece that has a classic and classy 'body' to it Lydi. Wonderful.

[Lydia Shutter]

Laughing here....you are welcome to knock on my door for a glass of whiskey any time, John. My husband and I would welcome your company! :) Thank you for the review. Lydi**

live it, love it, own it....a free spirit indeed shows no fear of change. We should all be so free to enjoy life as it comes.

Loved this.

[Lydia Shutter]

Easier to write it than to live it, unfortunately! Thank you so much, Troy. Lydi**

You and I are must be on the same wavelength again, Lydi. I am working on a poem titled, "Cerulean Blue"...now is that weird, or what?

"the crescendo is worth the wait"...so true, so so true! ...always a pleasure!

[Lydia Shutter]

Cerulean is one of my favorite words in poetry.....but then again, I have so many! :) We are often on the same wavelength, my friend....and that is fine with me. Thanks for the review. Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

My most favorite word, by far, is crudite...and I have you to thank for revealing it to me!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Kelly. Even though I stopped teaching English a million years ago, I love the English language and enjoy using words others ignore.

I can imagine all these beautiful free spirits dance with desires in their hearts, as they walk triumphantly in a world that locks theirs away into dungeons of rigidity.
loved it! :D

I love this! :)
Reminds me of those playful nymphs but also of that free love era.
Peace, love and harmony. Without jealousy and hurt...

[Lydia Shutter]

free spirits have one motivation...enjoy life....live it...don't shy away from all the you can enjoy, if you just give it a chance, and buy a ticket to travel.
