~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Look at you
Sitting on the jetty
Looking so pretty

Gazing into the sunset
Like a galactic goddess
Who has come to reclaim her dominion
Over the forces of love
Swaying the tides inside our vernal hearts

Surveying the distance
Between your lips and mine

Just look at you
Smiling at the rays
Peaking out from the clouds

Speaking to me
With a gesture of the cheek

Probing into my thoughts
Like an astral analyst

Smiling into wistful waves
We find so soothing

Yearning to decipher
The charisma of the night ahead

Look at us

Wondering when to surrender
To each other’s waiting arms



(listen to recital on my bio page ;)

Your recital was soothing and this is a beautiful call to the dance. I can just see the moment when you are looking into her eyes on the verge of a kiss. Who could resist?

Jude,

Loving "astral analyst"! Love the whole poem and all that it invokes!
You capture the essence of intimacy...something that is not easily done, but you Sir, do it very well!

This one is a tease. It leaves me wondering if she is really something else, the sun, ...the sea? Mysterious in a word.

Ooo!! So many possibilities, as Felix rightly says: but only YOU hold the key! How tantalising! You would make a good troubadour, Jude... can't you see the little flotilla in your wake, running up their white sails left, right and centre?! :)) For some strange reason this reminds me of The Owl and The Pussycat: "Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl! How charmingly sweet you sing!' - but that's us Brits for you! Does anyone actually know where the land of the Bong-tree is?! Anyway, sail on for your year and a day and may each one be as magical as this... and, yes, we're looking!! Not half! Binoculars out BIG time! :)) LOL Kate xx

Nice alliteration--galactic goddess, astral analyst; anticipation captures that which is most basic in us--call it id, instinct, etc. Nice write.

This is truly a romantic look at love and yearning. You captured well the early stages of hoped for romance and could equally apply to reawakening of lost love. So many possibilities with this one Jude.

Anticipation is the best form of foreplay. The stage is set, a few finishing touches like a glass of wine in beautiful and romantic setting, a showering of attention and all the makings for a memorable evening will be in place. Excellent images in this poem, Robert, a wonderful way to greet my sleepy morning eyes and jump-start my day.
Take care,
Sherry
