Chapter Two - Burning Flames

naked, flames start slow embers embedded in the eyes emerald, emancipated, one of a kind passengers looking endlessly for tommorow's clear blue sky the sun warms her mane and mine from above as whispers in the wind call out her name sand slips between her toes as waves wash upon her sultry legs filled with words of the future fulfilling her shore with 1000 bottles maybe more embattled she rises as the blushed sun falls painted amongst the stars the moon shapes her night unspoken feelings soar, forever burning bright

I love the 1000 bottles or more. Of course , I was speaking the other day of walking on a beach and being unable to go for a swim in the ocean, because the beach was littered with Bluebottles here. However, reading over your poem again, I had visions of all the bottles with messages inside them that people have thrown into the oceans over the centuries (like "Messages of Love", or "Help I'm stranded on an Island in the middle of the Pacific, come rescue me")...cool poem.

The Dom might kill you lol...but you are very astute in your observations L...the bottles have multiple meanings, the reader gets to decide how they pertain ...some of them might even be secret..thanks LL xx

of course, you could be speaking booze bottles...a bottle of Dom Perignon or two...but not 1000.
