To purple robed hills
Melody wanders toward 
The streaming chant of

The Sahara Desert Mountains
Mastered the Mediterranean Sea
Keepers of the flame

Their horses made of moonlight
The world shall never be the same

With its job soon to be done
Sleep soon ahead

Yet still overdue

Drowning

Drowning
A fledgling flew, 
alas, wings to small and weak
it landed in a puddle
and quickly drowned. 
Tiny tot too dies easily
in ponds
lakes
rivers 
bath tubs
and in the Mediterranean Sea 
only few of them
die by accident.

Premium Member If I were a Submarine

If I were a submarine
I would jump out of the water
Checking to see if other ships
Were doing what they ought-er

Jules Verne would come back
And write lively stories about me
I would be deemed the sheriff
Of the Mediterranean Sea

Mediterranean She

Lifting her beautiful heart to my lips 
The seabreeze her velvet truth; archaic..
Wrapped warmly her breath, about my breast
A glistening matrix, silk of cream as beauty she dreams...
Sliding sensually across my kiss; drinking, love's pink champagne.

We would have built

A green gust dancing 
amidst the leaves of ferns 

In the obscure dawn, 
the birds are all restive. 

Had we all been 
a swarm of unleashed birds 

For sure we would have built 
a Mediterranean sea

Mediterranean She

Lifting her beautiful heart to my lips.... 
Their sea breeze her, velvet truth; archaic 
Wrapped warmly my breath about her breast ?
A glistening matrix, silk of cream as beauty she dreams
Sliding sensually across poetic's kiss; drinking, love's pink champagne.
Form:

My Mediterranean Dove

Her beauty's free flowing soft vanilla hips..
Velvet cream, gliding joyfully above my lips
Daylight peeking past the shades her breast
My tongue tasting our love these eyes gazing
Chasing butterflies floating by her cries gentle
Warmth caressing my kisses glistening she sips.
