Bathed in Oils

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

She bathed in oils
By candlelight moonbeams
Softening her skin
Wet and smooth

Dreams of paradise
Cleansed her heart

Streams of ecstasy
Flooded her mind

This night she knew
Would be long and not taken
And flames inside her soul
Grew far too deep

Outside her window
Stars would keep her

Under the mysterious embrace
Of her distant gaze

Across the shore
She thought she noticed
A shadow strolling
Under nimbus glow

Moved like air
Inside misty essence

Hair appearing to flow
Like a sail
Across wayward breezes

Carrying the scent of salted flesh,
Tones of dreamy substance

Blending into the dark horizon
That could not be seen or touched

This poem wrapped its arms around me and soothed me to my core, Jude. Your images should be given in doses instead of Prozac. I am certain it would prove much more beneficial and just think how much nicer a place this world would be. Happy New Year to you!
Take care,

There is something diaphanous about this write Robert. Seemingly as impapable and intangible as air, but still somehow it clings to the senses as a fragrant dew. Tremendously penned Poet!

I liked the way everything 'flows,' in this one, Jude. It is

But I had to chuckle at Matlack's comment. What a card he is!

A very fragrant, soft advertisement for Calgon...where women of the future bathe in mood screens, pushing a button and choosing from earth, air, fire, water, and spirit mood-scented screen panoramas...oh, I'm there...
