Into Her Mystical Sea

Beyond the waves her voice an enchanting lyric Stars sparkle in my eyes, Of desire Her reflection a shimmer of loves radiance The drape of a waves crest Ebbs from her shoulders Forming an inlet where my soul is lost As she descends the staircase, She is like moonlight Her bare skin sweet as honeyed caramel And I, Swallowed into her mystical sea written: 10-12-2019 NUDE - descending a staircase Poetry Contest

the broken offset lines add the rhythm of surf sets approaching the beach added to the intense images beguiling the lovers. Thanks for entering the contest

This was one of those writing prompts that at first left me no urge to write about...but then i wondered how I could do it in a delicate way. Thank you for your kindness to read.

Beantiful writing. I often "(form) an inlet where my soul is lost," in my imagination when I want to mediate.
