Nymphatic

Impossible possibilities...

This fire in your soul

Burns ever so gently.

A love nymph you are,

Supplicant to hidden corals

Caressing an endless ocean.

 

Were you like me,

Able to muse on land

And slightly touch

The effervescent light

Which solicits wakefulness

From earth’s creatures,

We’d carelessly sink

Beneath wine sunsets.

 

Had you my wild sinews

To meander above sand,

I’d chaperone you far

Beyond surreal phantasms.

We’d curiously unearth

Pearls surmounted on land

We set out to explore.

 

Had you an unfettered soul

Which roars at rabid winds

As rampant lions often do,

I’d take you ashore with me

To wander wild and free.

I rather think there'd be a billion women wanting to be taken ashore after reading this.

What words, what emotion, what power!

So many pictures within this poem .. ' We'd carelessly sink / Beneath wine sunsets. '.... 'I'd chaperone you far / Beyond surreal phantasms.

As for the final stanza .. thank you, thank you for sharing.
