Sea of Love

Could I drown in your essence

would you throw me overboard

should you let the waves take me

will you overflow my vessel

let me coast upon your fiery seas

ebb me from the shores of erosion

engulf me with impetuous high tides

emerge my senses in salty euphonic tides

undertows will not break my lifeline

rip currents fetch my spilling breakers
uprush like a hurricane upon a jetty

crest your summit into the depths 

volcanic hotspot of seamount eruptions

crash me to your shores of surging breakers
fully submerged in your tidal wave
calm winds buoy me to shore

Wow! The salt water is certainly calling my name if I get to get lost in it like this!
The waters of seduction in this sea are rolling at a tsunami pace!!

Yes, volcanic hotspot of seamount eruptions, come and crash me to those breakers!!
Steamy mist is rising!!!

[Frieda P]

Whoa Sheila, I think you left some heat behind on my thread! Thanks so much!

[Carolann Dowsett]

This is a beautiful flowing write, makes me think about making love on the beach with the sound of the waves crashing in time with the ebbing flow of passion. Beautiful Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Wooo, so glad it took you there! My job is done.... ;-)

hey!!! i just posted a poem about drowning and and waters and stuff... hahah but yours is so much more intense and "in depth" (pun intended) hihihi

[Frieda P]

I'll have to check it out, thanks.

[Frieda P]

What a beautiful write, I am so glad with this... the love you speak here for our sea, and be one with it, touches me...

"ebb me from the shores of erosion
engulf me with impetuous high tides"

Wonderful wording...
I liked the old feel of this write,
It was like a Siren dream...

I love the sea and everything about it, the salt air and feel of tranquility...I could definitely make love to it! ;-)

Me too! it is our sign, (water) I guess.... have so many see writes, (still under construction)... and some posted... slowly they will pop up again, we are connected into this... beautiful words sweet Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Ha I'm a Leo, fire sign, I should be leery of water....could extinguish me...!

Well as a cancer I will calm you ;-) ha!

[Frieda P]

Sounds good to me, I need to be calm! ;-)

And I need more chilli peppers to be active in my a*s... ;-) but you know the reasons, so I am in fight with myself lol :)

[Frieda P]

Ha I'm always in a fight with myself....I hear you! ;-)

What a dilemma huh? :D xx

[Frieda P]

Most definitely, maybe we need to find someone else to take it out on? lol

LOL.... you're so goodly crazy :D

[Frieda P]

Ha, I've been told that before sweetie, and several other things too! ha ;-D

[Annabelle Lee]

so much better when red aloud. brvo.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Annabelle.

[Lover Of Words]

THis is so lovely!!

[Frieda P]

Thanks Kelsey. :-)

[Lover Of Words]

it is my pleaure

[quinfinn]

waves got your brain? this is so new wave...not really just waving at you from across the sea of waves. okay, i'm done.....the undercurrents and the pull of these strong feelings are so prevalent in this torrid and restless piece. and, yes, i DO love the constant wave metaphors throughout this, they give this a life and motion of its own. your imagery herein is stunning and this is SO hot! but....i ain't lyin' on no cold, hard rock....wonderful write, Frieda

[Frieda P]

Ha who cares after you're spent, the cold hard rock feels good! Thanks, I love your reviews to pieces!

[quinfinn]

maybe

[John Alexander McFadyen]

OK corma but nice enough. Did you ever watch Sea of Love staring Al Pacino and Ellen Birken the scene where they have sex is the best ever!

[Frieda P]

Wow, I didn't even think of that, of course, I love Al! The one up against the wall you mean, it's been years....

[Frieda P]

And what the heck is corma btw?

[John Alexander McFadyen]

yup that was THE one. only movie scene to beat it for sensuality was Sigourney Weaver stripping off in Alien

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A mild curry

[Frieda P]

Oh c'mon, what about Body Heat?

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Nah nothing as subtle as the Alien scene. So hidden that no one saw it's light!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

PS I would not recommend rubbing corma on your skin lol

[Frieda P]

The voice of experience?

[John Alexander McFadyen]

No never been so stupid as to rub curry on my skin lol!

[kublakhan27]

Drowning has never sounded this fun...I absolutely love water imagery, yet still I find myself craving a floatation device here ;P

[Frieda P]

Ha, sink or swim babe, there's no other way! ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Indeed, yet you make it a much tougher decision than it should be with in the way you present the options ;)

[Frieda P]

ha, awh, did I scare you? ;-P

[kublakhan27]

Haha well as much as I love the aesthetic effects of water, I'm scared to death of deep water and can't swim...your imagery soothes that fear quite a bit though ;P

[Frieda P]

You really can't swim??

[kublakhan27]

Nope, I've tired to learn several times and I can't...I really am petrified of deep water, which has always embarrassed me a bit cuz I come from a line of fishermen on Dad's side...don't think I mentioned that before haha

[Frieda P]

Yes I know, that's why I'm shocked...you live near the water too right?

[kublakhan27]

Yep, literally on the shore...my family's home is the last one on the street...that's not to say I don't get hypnotized by the ocean ;p

[Frieda P]

I'm seriously coming up there to teach you how to swim! That's insane.....! You can't have a house ON the ocean and not know how....

[kublakhan27]

No I'M insane haha

[Frieda P]

I'm pretty sure that's not allowed, in some kind of Beach handbook or something....

[kublakhan27]

Haha you're probably right, but I was never one to follow convention ;P

[Frieda P]

Still you don't know what you're missing hon

[kublakhan27]

Well I did muster up the courage to get out on the boat occasionally, which was no small feat for me haha

We also took Dad's ashes out there via my uncle's boat...we rode right up to the spot facing our place and spread them there :)

[Frieda P]

Hmm that's what i want them to do to me too, preferably after I go... ;-)

[kublakhan27]

He never liked traveling, but as irony would have it, who knows where he wound up? ;)

[Frieda P]

that's sort of poetic......

[kublakhan27]

Don't be surprised to hear it again sometimes, probably not today or tomorrow, but sometime...

[Coyote Poetry]

Amazing photo and poetry. Good to free and without control of emotion. I like the complete poem. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
