Maiden Voyage

Like wind billowing the sails
your breath fills my lungs

sailing on passionate waves
we discover that virgin Island
where wild fruits
ripened in desire
wait to be plucked
by our hungry fingers
to stoke the fire in our loins
with their nectars
till the seeds are released
in wild abandon

we wake
with gentle waves lapping
at our moorings
ready to sail once again
to yet another sanctuary
inhaling lung fulls
of your seducing breath...

Raj,

ok, I write an 'ok' poem about an island and a vessel...and then you write one that knocks my little boat clean out of the water!! Lol!

I have much to learn...you have created the stunning image and it stays in your mind long after reading the poem.

As you know I am beginning to appreciate this type of poetry...and this one sets the benchmark that I am trying to reach.

I liked every line which seemed to be carefully crafted and guiding us through your journey. I particularly liked the opening lines:

Like wind billowing the sails
your breath fills my lungs

that just set up the feeling of the poem for me.

Should 'lungfulls' be two words?

Thanks for sharing this poem.

Kind regards,

HS

Such excellent writing. Delicately erotic and sublimely crafted, it takes my breath away. I had to read it twice to get the full effect! I hope and strive to reach the heights that you have ascended to with my own writing. And so effortlessly crafted!

we wake
with gentle waves lapping
at our moorings
ready to sail once again
to yet another sanctuary
inhaling lung fulls
of your seducing breath...

wonderfully done!

love, Cat

I like this poem very much, but feel the end is needing some more work. I feel, inhaling lungfulls, is to strained. Filling my lungs, with you're seducing or seducers breath. It is still a very sesual sail through poetic verse. Regards Roscoe...

A real good poem, I love the metaphor.
Since you already establish the image of her breath filling your lungs, (very vivid imagery) do you need to repeat it at the end?

Perhaps something like

Breathing deep
of your seducing breath...

instead?
