Notes About The Poem

Two Souls Lost At Sea

Who am I to take her innocence.
To caress her untouched virgin fibers.
This is not a negative connotation of lust,
it's an intimate overtone to show affection.

I tell my heart to be patient,
yet it irks from the rub of lingering
and it's flustered - feeling lost,
as tomorrow has no guarantee,
but she lives in a fantasy of dreams,
where her mind paints a different reality.

Art of the heart is not so simple -
in our predicament of sensibility
and it would be selfish
to convince her to stay,
but tragic to let her leave
and then she tells me how
she cant live without me,
so we remain helpless,
two souls on two different shores -
content with being lost at sea.

Simple Musing

So many of us are lost souls, but in time, I hope we all find one another before it's too late. Truly loved this .

For you to have commented on my poem Butterfly Lust, I’m in lost for words with this gem of yours I’ve just read. You used and image that caught my attention at instant...then with your words you carefully penned each line that had me craving for more. Great way to share an experience most can relate to. Love your work...loving your style! INK

Sometimes we move in opposite directions, yet in the same direction. All at the same time. It's very confusing indeed, for a heart in love. Your thoughts hold so many emotions. ~ Brandy

Just so beautiful, my friend! When we dream again of innocence and linger, not wanting to take what is longing to be given...but wanting it even the more earnestly. A lovely picture to accompany your poem. I had to linger. I don’t always want a picture as the words I want to imagine but this is a wonderful accompaniment! Fave!
