Wombtime

The pool was warm, more shallow than deep in your arms I feigned sweet sleep head ‘pon shoulder, tresses outspread tendrils of water wash chin and forehead Cradling limbs wave anemone like form. Reminiscent of womb time and life being born. Adrift as sunbeam in a celestial sea, trust in the kind arms surrounding me. Breathe in the sustenance of universal bliss. Breathe in the gentleness like a lovers first kiss.

Deborah, What an enchanting poem! Very well rhymed love poem. Thanks for your comments on my Haiku Buried Hearts. Travel is good provided it is done with grace and respect for loving hearts that are buried under the ground. Regards. Mohammad
