Notes About The Poem

Turquoise Sea Chimera


  
                            11/15/2023

       You are my midnight love chimera.
       Beneath a turquoise sea.
       We met innocently and affably.
       Giggling and smiling, so innocently.

       But…passion’s gates opened wide.
       And its aquatic , aqueous mouth…
       Swallowed us, whole and most divine.
       Our soul’s instantaneously intertwined!

        What entity, created such instant intimacy.
        An under the deep sea, exotic gratification.



      .Chimera~ something that exists as an aspiration…
       but is not achievable in this world at all.
       Of Greek etymology.~ a fire-breathing monster 
       that has a lion’s head, a goat’s body and the
       tail of a snake!

Linda! Thank you very much. And I know that you know what I was thinking of in this poem…. Lol. I was thinking of an old song back in the 1940s before anyone who was born. You’re the cream in my coffee, you’re the salt a message too. Sounds like silly lines, nut so true. I am so glad you understand me))). Pamgie xx

The poet is glad you liked the image!! Maybe will just post images from here on in! As if!….It’s an evil dependency as major poets do not use images..with poetry, do they? Send me a coloring bookAnyway.. ,, not writing, so the question is moot. Panagiota Romios
