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

Lady Labyrinth November 6, 2019 at 2:19 PM 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.
