Sunlit


"Sunlit"

The sunlight 
burnt their skin

they felt alive
at least

they began
to live again

bare legs bare feet 
cool water,
 
the sensual 
diving in

lovers wrapped
up in the ocean 

of another world
in themselves

alone
but not alone

Sunlit


(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)











artist: Martine Emdur (Australian, Sydney)

Thank you. I had a moment ... hard to distinguish, all three are not photos but paintings by talented Australian artist based in Sydney, Martine Emdur. I love the colour, movement and realism in her paintings. And they do go well with the thoughts behind my poem.
