Her electric ecstasy

She was clothed in the most glorious, divine fabric

The softness of her warm, wet skin

Veiled in the soft sigh of clouds

Misted light to cover her silken seas

Here she awakened the dawn with every beautiful breath

Sky-blue azure glow these pools of spiced mystery

Divine light burning

Endlessly turning

Every shade, every sigh, every color's kiss

In every cell of her being was etched the enchantment

The vast and ageless stars

Ever her sacred skin rising from sand and sea

Now warm flesh pooling with blood and bone

And electric ecstasy

Stupendous and marvellous! Your imageries,like always, are so enchanting.
"The softness of her warm, wet skin
Veiled in the soft sigh of clouds"
This line just left me jaw-dropped. Your works are so beautiful that they not only give pleasure but eases the mind by making us travel to some timeless,new world- away from all the rush and chaos of today. Mind it,that means a lot when you are living in a place so full of honking and smog and no peace at all.
So great to have you here. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Love that word 'puling' - a new one to me.
The more this is read - the more the image builds of a mythical beauty of La Mer.
The ending is like those static sparks that we get from a car door - they make us swiftly pull our hand back but they make us feel alive.
Nicely done Eros.

Your insights shared make me grateful to have writers like you here at the cafe. Thank you for your moments and your thoughts, my friend.

Wow...what an enchantingly beautiful piece!
There is a strong sense of timelessness in this...a whisper of ancient things...mermaids, nymphs, Olympian gods, fantasies and myths. I think my favorite line was : Sky-blue azure glow these pools of spiced mystery
So rich with imagery...beautiful poem, Eros.

I am so thankful you felt this poem, and so thankful too for your kind words. May you find yourself drifting into the depths of the sea on some mermaid magic tonight. xo
