Her electric ecstasy

She was clothed in the most glorious, divine fabric

The softness of her warm, wet skin

Veiled in the soft sigh of clouds

Misted light to cover her silken seas

Here she awakened the dawn with every beautiful breath

Sky-blue azure glow these pools of spiced mystery

Divine light burning

Endlessly turning

Every shade, every sigh, every color's kiss

In every cell of her being was etched the enchantment

The vast and ageless stars

Ever her sacred skin rising from sand and sea

Now warm flesh pooling with blood and bone

And electric ecstasy

[The dark story]

Stupendous and marvellous! Your imageries,like always, are so enchanting.
"The softness of her warm, wet skin
Veiled in the soft sigh of clouds"
This line just left me jaw-dropped. Your works are so beautiful that they not only give pleasure but eases the mind by making us travel to some timeless,new world- away from all the rush and chaos of today. Mind it,that means a lot when you are living in a place so full of honking and smog and no peace at all.
So great to have you here. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Dear Atiba, I am so thankful for your time and your kindness. Wishing you endless worlds of peace in this new year. When I am overwhelmed with this place, it is then the words come to create a haven for my soul. Whispering this over you now, and always. xo

' Here she awakened the dawn with every beautiful breath '

What extraordinary poetry. Its style and phrasing is more than romantic, more reminiscent of past poets than modern. Because so few people write in this style these days, in a way, is could become more memorable or recognisable.

[Zenovia]

Your words are of deep passion.
I enjoyed mermaids beauty.

[Echoes of Eros]

This was mermaid inspired, dear Zenovia. Thank you for your warm wave of words. xo

[Kelly Scheppers]

The passion you construe is insane...I believe your poetry is what makes moonlight.

[Coyote Poetry]

Amazing use of words. The good description create good visions and you took me to beautiful places. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.

I am so thankful for your encouragement. Sometimes poetry creates the spaces we can hide in when the world grows dark.

I like how you veil your words in softness and smooth vagueness, very descriptive. Nice to read.
I love the quote too btw. Saw a lot of other nice quotes on your profile too.

Anaïs Nin, nice choice. I sent this very quote to a friend once, she's into mermaids and such mythical creatures, kinda..

[Echoes of Eros]

I am so thankful for your kind words and precious time. And yes, Anaïs was a wild soul living on the edges of the world. A mythical creation herself. I sometimes wish to be found more on those fringes, going further out to sea. xo

You're welcome.

Sounds trashy but I think you can be whoever/whatever you want to be, it's about inventing yourself in life. I do so all the time... But it needs time even to find bits of yourself, finding yourself, keeping sacred company with yourself is a life long process..whatever. Nice thoughts you brought up.

[Echoes of Eros]

I think that sounds perfectly divine. We do not choose where we are born, but we can transform ourselves endlessly if we wish. I deeply appreciate your vision and transformation. xo

[V]

Yes, I think so too. That's nice to know. Appreciate your thoughts too.

These are beautiful lines! You paint such an amazing picture with your words! I loved the imagery of this one! ☺👍

[Echoes of Eros]

I thank you so much for soaring across the sea to read my poetry. I have always loved the ocean, and dream of living there again some day, sensing the roaring depths of it washing over me once more. Have a very happy New Year! xo

[Dr. YumnaKay]

You are welcome! And happy new year to you too ☺
