Sea Of Love's Mystery

Your eyes a dark archipelago
Mysterious then exotic drifting across   
  my shore;
I perceive their warmth inviting
While those lips blow a tangy flavour-
Irresistible, poised to reach for a kiss
Brewed by the kiln of summer’s 
   ember…

Carefully, my logic examines the 
     prospects
Between reason and wantonness,
As the fluid air spins amorously
And the evening grows too blind, 
    naked--
The waves within my navel dilate,
    fluid as current's unknown motion...
I forget what  happens next except, I 
    was
Drunk with the body- rhythm of something 
  untenably spontaneous;
Coasting on a body outside a bend
  ebbing flowing  through a belly and  
   tendon

Of a conniving sea.

Nette, sounds like love indeed! I particularly like the part about application of logic, which doesn't always go as planned. We are funny creatures and you capture that all so well. You also write with a very positive tone, which I admire. Smiles...we're all having so much fun here!!

I love how your poem is an evocative exploration of the tension between logic and desire. Through lush imagery and metaphors like the "dark archipelago" and "waves within my navel," the speaker captures the intoxicating and uncontrollable nature of attraction.
