"The Dream of Her Untouched Sea" Caressing Her tidal pools the floor of Her Oceans rise Sunlight through the crystal canopy shines on Her song of the siren mind meeting the Majesty all commanding they commune with Her within Her greater depths, the Emeralds and Sapphires of Her pristine sanctuary kind and perilous, She is, then all at once - a tempest sanctified; Love is all there is, baptised in Her holy waters kissed by Her grace under Her god like body no virus will survive There lives in dreamlike state another Kingdom that breathes in plumes nebulous then immaculate Neptune sees freedom bathed in light and dark depth hues Christened in Her eyes there floating before Her, You, begotten, borne again skin wet against Her mouth hushed and warm Her body opens and pulls you in, you are lulled by the velvet comfort cool and calm of Her silent reckoning, the crest of Her waves the rise and fall of Her smooth satin, She is sensuously moist welcoming and forbidden enticing you with Her serene eminence one day, the next, you’d gladly drown to swim with mystical untouched souls swallowed in Her voluptuous hallowed waters salty skinned and hair all tangled black and glistening midnight blue like seaweed and sea urchins strung up and strewn with ripe wide opened red sea poppies all wrapped around your fingers no ropes to pull you in you are caught up in Her all around you you are hypnotised She is dangerously close and closing in like you’re a sea leopard caught, you’ve roamed too far a hungry sea wolf ensnarled and grinning in Her freedom net you are swimming deeper into her seduced, just longing, yet to somehow be the deeper not the shallow in the dream of Her untouched sea (LadyLabyrinth / 2020)

Response to TS Poem titled, "Read" (below poem link), which gave me a certain freedom of inspiration to convert from the 'subtle' darker shades, some Light.

Wow! I wondered how I missed this one and no wonder for I was stuck on an island surrounded by ocean due to Covid lol...this is the best POTD I have read! :)

How wonderful! I hope it was. I think to be away from the horror of covid, immersed in the pristine waters and walking healthy on barefoot sand with the Sun shining on you - stuck on an island surrounded by our beautiful Ocean - would have been absolutely glorious another dimension away, a small heaven. I do hope all your loved ones and friends have been safe throughout it all. The lockdowns gave a lot of people a new perspective on what they are prepared to put up with in their lives, and what they will not; a lot of people have re-set, which may sound all woo-woo, but so true and much needed. I am overjoyed you loved this little poem. xx

I agree, they are deserving of our respect and awe.

When you consider it on an existential level, the Ocean is a living being, like 'God' strange and mysterious. I was reading somewhere last night, that a group of scientists are putting forward the theory that the Universe is a conscious living entity. I will try and find the article for you, which is more current than this one, which is pretty close to what I read last night. However, the former was presenting more factual evidence. We are all connected, creatures, humans, earth, worlds, universe, dimensions.

Thank you Lamour'eux. I was reflecting on silence, through the introspection of self-isolation; sometimes it can become quite noisy in one's own brain and in the world existing above the Ocean. Surely the silence under water, if one were to adapt a life aquatic, then Life -would be so much easier. The Ocean is a beautiful mistress and she and her subjects must always be respected as divine beings. x

Lady L, there is no activity I find more calming than a swim in the ocean. Thank you for the poetic glimpse into her depths, mysteries, and charms. Congrats on your well-deserved POTD. ~ John

Who could not fail but to fall in love with Her, she is commanding and hypnotic, all the elements required for a reckless love affair. If a deity were to have a bride, She is the one, they would choose over all others. You have a brilliant last name, it is synonymous with 'energy' and I equate that with Light. Thank you for reading this poem... simple (yet She is certainly a complex being) and dare I say it, humble musing. x

I love the ocean too Paula, very very much. We must all somehow wade through the awful times at present and remember there is such beauty around us. We must protect everything in our lives that exist in this world, not just our own species. I am so happy you love this poem. xx

Beautiful story you shared about your daughter swimming with the huge sea turtle. I must keep an eye out for the photo. There is a giant Sea Turtle, it is very old, that lives under a boat shed at Manly Harbour, in my beautiful Sydney (close to shore). It is beautiful to see it swimming in the clear water when the tide is going out. Georgia and I have swum with it at low tide, but she will not remember, more than likely, as she was very little, still wearing floaties. I just made use of the word beautiful 3 times, I shall lose full marks for that...although some might see it as a visitation of the 'holy' trinity ;) ... I shall definitely lose full marks for my improper humour, I am sure.

Lady Labyrinth

There is a beach I used to take Georgia to when she was little where we used to swim and explore the rockpools at low tide (well there were many beaches in the area where we lived), but this one in particular had a Mermaids' Cave. Totally visible at low tide. You'd have to wade through the water to get into it, sometimes it would be half deep with the children able to swim in it. Pure magic. We used to pretend we were mermaids... yeah me too. lol

Lady Labyrinth

Brimming with small treasures that we would discover (which in our minds were no small treasures). Tiny fierce soldier crabs, fluorescent bright cobalt blues, purples, emeralds, sometimes flaming orange starfish hiding under large sea-moss covered rocks usually covered in slimy, glistening claret-red fleshy sea anemones that when touched, delighted in spurting small mouthfuls of water at us. Of course we never saw any mermaids, they were all out deeper swimming with the silver fins. I remember both of us being amazed one afternoon when the large conch like shells started moving in the very shallows, like a small bold parade, the sea slugs that lived inside the shells had come out to feed on the smaller fish and miniscule life living in the seaweed close to shore. We used to delight in collecting Port Jackson shark eggs (empty of course) found in the water in the rockpools, some in the Mermaid Cave, or dry in the sand on the shore.

Hawaii is all you describe and more Lady. My daughter got to swim right next to a huge turtle and took its photo with an underwater camera. It made her visit here. Aloha, Connie xxoo

Lady Labyrinth

I think Hawaii would be a stunning place to visit. So much Ocean around you and the beautiful legions that swim gracefully under its surface, and the wild lush landscape, volcanos, fire, life. Beautiful. Happy you loved this poem. L xx

Another poetic gem with lovely alliteration and images. Congratulations on your POTD!

Lady Labyrinth

Thank you Sam Kauffman. I have been ruminating in isolation on the true purpose of our lives and why we are all experiencing the rigours of this "Crown" virus. Perhaps there is something much much greater at play here than the wet markets and bats.

I have been thinking (possibly a dangerous thing, when I consider where thinking has drawn me in the past), we must all have this romance. The communion of ourselves with the Ocean, everything really that is in our world. We must love all and everything and somehow maintain "respect" for each other and everything that exists in our world. This is where LOVE enters the story. Thank you Constance. As always, "Blessed Be". I am very much standing next to the "Blessed Be's". Your pseudonym suits you perfectly. xx

Ah the tides and the Moon. There are other worlds outside our own. Let's start with our own world first. Without Her waters, there would be no rivers, there would be no rain, there would be no life, go amphibian onto land and consider the burning of rainforests and deforrestation, the killing of trees. We are dead, cactus. It is all rather fascinating and complex. A puzzle. I love a good mystery and I love puzzles. It is early morning here and I drizzle on with my banal comments. Your comment is a key to a lock that needs picking and unopening. It has given me more fuel for thought. Breakfast calls. Love Leanne. x

I am in Love with the Ocean. I am in awe of it, and I also fear it. I read somewhere last night, that the virus will not survive in Ocean Water. Let us hope this is true. I would be so sad, if those majestic creatures contracted the virus. On with my day. xx
