playful and free

written while gazing at the moon and ocean on my recent transatlantic cruise.

stars tiptoe across the sky

their pattern suggests they may be hiding from someone

or something

perhaps an alien creature from another planet

hard to say really

the ocean’s skin is dark

but its sexy voice can be heard

its salty breath entices me

i swallow a seductive splinter of air

savoring the taste

it's all a puzzle beckoning

                enchanting me

slowly sliding into provocative locales

with its kaleidoscope of intimacies

  

suddenly feeling playful and free

i wink at the man on the moon

hoping he will dream of me tonight

This is a transatlantic cruise! I was mesmerized as the message of your poem goes into different offshoots of exploration around this scene that is magnified by your entrancing artwork selection. The playful personification of the various heavenly aspects is sublime & piques the imagination of all writers. That ending is so unexpected & memorable! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

So pleased you enjoyed it, Margie. Nothing quite like walking on the deck of a ship when it is sailing through the middle of the ocean. No land in sight....only stars, sky, and ocean. It is a poetic cornucopia. I appreciate your review. Lydi**

"suddenly feeling playful and free

I believe the man on the moon does smile when he see happiness and the gift of a smile. Thank you Lydia for sharing the amazing poetry.
