Joy of Water

Red candles lit

Yellow and white flames

Lined up in a row

Soft ripples of water 

move around 

Lights off and quite fills the room

A body submerges 

Steam rises like flames 

In hailing all around

Leaning back and closing eyes

The water moves around on the body

Making the muscles loose

Caressing with a hand on the legs

Moving up and down the body slowly

Working the water into the skin

Biting a lip 

Working fingers up her stomach 

Smiling, thinking of wonderful things

Eyes snap open 

to the sound of a baby crying......

Oh to be a woman!

Very nice :) I love the baby crying interrupting. That is so true for most.

This was a beautiful poem! I enjoyed it a lot, keep writing! :)

The ending here is precious.
I could picture the womans face change instantly,
as soon as the cry was bellowed.
Just brilliant, hahaha.

Hahaha.. loved this.. brought back some now great memories (my kids are older today so I can laugh). Nothing like a nice candlelit bath with soft soothing music.. and here you have the interruption being the baby crying! Well, part and parcel to being a parent.. even when they become teens their needs will always interrupt some soothing moments (they run the bathroom once they hit 9/10).. so if you can get in there .. make the most of it! Absolutely adored the twist on this one!
