Oh Captain My Captain

Oh Captain My Captain

 

 

 

let’s tell the world

we’ve gone fishing

and set our sails toward

the end of the sky.

 

with utter abandon

my heart is vicariously beating

in haste with yours

as a Sauvignon, pours.

 

oh captain, my captain

can it be i am drowning

in the guise of your charms

in the pools of your eyes.

That first stanza raises the stakes and sets the compass. Romance at its best Kelly. At its breath taking best. Loved it.

Not the end of the world...just the sky. I think the end of the world would require more wine. Thanks so much for the review. Much appreciate the visit!

Open water, billowing sails, a glass of wine, and a charming companion it sounds like heaven itself. That image is absolutely breathtaking.

[Kelly Scheppers]

My muse has been engaged with the sea lately, and I haven't a clue why. But I love the romance of this one, along with the image. It is breathtaking, isn't it? Thank you, Mary!

Ahoy, Kelly Dear! 🎭
Irresistible romance and alluring mystery are undeniably dancing in your DNA.

A Sailor ⛵, you had me at "set our sails toward the end of the sky."
A male, my deck pitched at "with utter abandon, my heart is vicariously beating."

And, the víno 🥂 you brought assures our journey shall not suffer from lack of sustenance or espirit. Then, you blended imagery, emotion, desire, and succulent metaphor into a poetically naughtycal tale 🐬 no warm-blooded seafarer could possible resist painting himself into.

And, ohhh-MY, Kelly! That gossamer-blessed artwork, trailing-off 'n around a maidenhead-like sea goddess in a frothy rush of wispy ocean foam … simply breathtakingly perfect!
Avast, Faire Maiden, I'm head-over-heels you've also borrowed my charms and azure blues to drown in. 🧜
"What," I ask, "along with your delightfully lovely Self, could be more ideal for your Captain to set his jib to?"

Oh, M'Lady-Sailor, Aphrodite of the Sea … how majestically you make the art of poetry ebb 'n flow!
Anchors aweigh, Me Love, anchors aweigh … a bon voyage! ⁓ Cap'n Richard ⚓️

[Kelly Scheppers]

Could your phrasing of a poetic "naughty-cal" tale be any more apropos? No one could possibly have said it better. I love it!! Thank you, my captain!

[Richard🖌]

Awww, 'tweren't nuthin!

[Sapphus]

This is perfect. Can't afford the Sauvignon now.. but brought back the good times.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you for the kind words and your presence here, Sapphus. So wonderful to meet you!

[Ted Kniffen]

Any poem that contains wine ... the sea and love is okay with me.
Three of my favourite things.

Well done Kelly ...

Captain, oh my captain
let this be my wish aloud
that if we must ever leave the sea
that we become captains of the clouds.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Sweltering waves and salty breeze...I'm there! Thank you so much, Ted!
