Soul Mastery

The intoxication of everything you are transcends the flesh 

and penetrates the soul without regard

Churning, electrifying every fiber and photon of my essence

disrupts my control and steals my ship's helm

Invoking my body to shimmy until the filling force escapes 

from every fingertip, every strand of hair

Are you a visitor or my new captain?

I lack the equipment to fight

Unsure if I want to

Either way

Be gentle

Very creative. Your style is distinct and one needs to understand the meaning with a whole different point of view.

The intoxication of everything you are transcends the flesh
and penetrates the soul without regard

These opening lines are too good.

I love how you captured the feeling of being fragile enough to break at a single word, yet still going on. Would it be okay if I wrote it down and carried it with me? I love to read poetry when things get rough.

Thank you for your kind review! And yes, you have my full permission to write it down!

i like it all
the form
the story
the last line seems a bit cheesy-
love the rest.

A while ago I was referring to Titanic and here I am reading this poetry which feels came out from the movie!

I enjoyed this poem. Felt like a gentle whisper heard in the night.

I liked the above lines. I like poetry that ends with a question. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
