Notes About The Poem

Blue




"Blue"

I stand at the shore 
you make your way into me
seductively, 
I could question your liquidity 
your market is silk laid 
weighed by the measure of time 
your hands of satin wash 
deep blue over me
you pull me further out into you;
you're in deep now, all over me
I feel your embrace around me 
the reach of your current 
electrifies me 
do I protest?

no – this is firm in the mind

I wrap my legs around your indigo
you think I go with your flow 

you take me further out
much further out than I ever intended to

for it is too soon 
too soon

you think I go with your flow
I wrap my legs around your indigo

I am Calypso
I ride you home

Your esteemed comment rolls me over into a Cats moment. Thankfully, a warped sense of humour prevails. Fond regards, GrizabellaBombalurina.
