Aqua Marine Poet Rhyme

A Kiss

she leans back and points bare toes at clouds
chains creak their rhythmic squeak, hypnotic loud
taken aback, her hair sails slipstream flung
downstream freedom for a moment hung
in mid-air - earth's force gives up its grip
hands sweat, hold tight, they cannot slip...
underneath, grave ground drops and falls away
above, a fraction weightless, she holds sway
swing's song suckle drugs her hungry mind 
lids close, sun glows infrared behind
pushed ahead, prow barges coldest breeze - 
heady heights drop back to life's sleeze- tease
whistle warns soft shots across neck's nape - 
a tug towards untimely no escape
pendulum head, concave waver rocks it
self gives way to backbone's growing grit
back or forth, the dipper croons reprieves unbought
no more a cradle - ladle, once more sought
after - alter course - alter - falter, first
of all, go back, bold, and slake high spirit's thirst

looming dark dips her fears in far off stars'
molten matter - fired white hot globes unbar
eternal flames, external spin as atoms swim
in ether - her thoughts burn bright just for Him

now's the time, now's the place, blown up sky high - 
now's the time to kiss the shattered sky.

"Righteousness and Peace - they have kissed each other. " ( the connection of the two will be as evident to all as is the close association of affectionate friends...)  Figuratively, a kiss could represent a demonstration of respect and devotion, and often served as a token of affection.

Kai Michael Neumann December 10, 2019 at 7:17 AM What a kiss.That is so romantically written. I have not looked at the clouds from that position for a long time, but it is winter and the grounds feels too cold for that. And then-I read poetry instead. Kind wishes, Kai Aqua Marine December 10, 2019 at 7:36 AM A wonderful comment from you, Kai - I really enjoy a fellow poets "view of a view"- so much goes into transposing an experience, and the inner imagery that needs to be "tugged out" into something readable and enjoyably so....Its been pouring with summer rain here, I'm doing some artwork in my studio. Will look in on your latest a little later. Warmest Regards ~~Aqua M~~

Eric Ashford October 7, 2019 at 12:48 PM Hi Aqua, I must be a very base character for it did not see any elements of 'Righteousness' and 'Peace' in this work. What I did see the A Kiss, a fine tactile and image rich poem about the emotional roller-coaster of early lip contact between lovers. The poem, for me is intimate and profound in its detailed visions. Aqua Marine November 7, 2019 at 4:05 AM Hi Eric, I enjoyed your comments on my poem...and yes, poetry has some ambiguity in it- not everything is at face value. I appreciate that you found some depth in my musings here- and the "crossing over" from childhood innocence to adult reality. Teenage years can be a confusing indeed. And I enjoyed your interpretation of "A Kiss" too. ( I read your poems often- they are fascinating! ) Thank you for stopping by to comment. (((Hugs)))

Thank you for having a kind spirit towards other poets here on PS, we all need a mindful and motivating word from others. (((HUGS)))

Darlene De Beaulieu March 31, 2019 at 5:09 PM Hello Aqua, this a great poem you have created. Have a nice evening my friend. Aqua Marine March 31, 2019 at 5:45 PM Thank you, Darlene, for your visit, and comment-Always appreciated! (((HUGS))), and have a lovely evening too!

Robert Lindley March 8, 2019 at 9:56 AM Excellent verse my friend. I was brought into it and reminded of my own first encounter as a youth with an already experienced girl. Fear shook me to the core but urges sang their siren song! Profoundly deep and creatively composed..Where have you been hiding as of late my friend? A fav.. Aqua Marine March 8, 2019 at 4:07 PM Hi Robert, thank you for your precious comment! Some kisses are never forgotten, are they? I am so Happy for your visit here...I have been a little reclusive of late, my muse has been lost in thought, maybe... : ) Your kindness and comments are always appreciated, my friend. (((HUGS)))

Aqua Marine March 7, 2019 at 5:29 AM Thank you for your kind words and welcome visit, L. In a way, it is about vacillation between innocence/ immaturity, and becoming wiser/ mature. Indecision leads to insecurity, and self-defeat. Deciding to do what is healthy/ right, brings peace to oneself. Need to be my own Best Friend. Appreciate your thoughts as always... Aqua Marine March 7, 2019 at 5:33 AM Your poems are thought-provoking, as are many others that I've read here....breaks one out of reticence...My muse went off on a solo voyage for a while.... ; )
