Imbibing Imaginations

The word ‘romance,’ according to the dictionary means excitement, adventure, and something extremely real. Romance should last a lifetime. —Billy Graham Imbibing Imaginations In my deepest fantasies, you don’t belong tethered to a buoy, singing that siren song. Bring your flute and kisser, near, nearer, Dear. Swim with me through deep sea caves; don’t fear. You’ve moistened your instrument, your lips. Now that you have a tail too, let’s practice flips. I glisten like diamonds, my hair is ruby; sea green eyes stare at you, as now, you appear muscular; in disguise. We ride the aquamarine tides, in folds of fire coral, draped. With only our imbibing imaginations - from reality, escaped. Tales of, mer-lads and -lass, regenerating legs in flutter kicks. Move in close, closer, Dear; taste my moist and salty lips. I’m always with you in deepest fantasies; lady of mystery will unmask, unwind, adventure with you; a lifetime history. Should we tell the sea creatures what we have been hiding? It is the secret of a long marriage; in one man’s pecs, abiding.

A very beautiful poem highlighting the importance of romance for a sustained marital relationship. Many marriages end up in divorce when romance dies. "It is the secret of a long marriage; in one man’s pecs, abiding." So very true.

Vivid imagination gone wild in this one. It is true romance should be in our married lives the whole marriage through. Thanks for sharing the tale of the mermaid with us. Sara K
