Paint Me Turquoise

Painting/Josephine Wall

You are emerald and I am the sapphire 

we are turquoise, chemistry within the sea

I feel blue, withered, without you

paint me emerald, paint me turquoise with love.

We make love within the bed of the ocean

our kisses swirl in sheets of ivory sands

I am pink and you are lobster red

within seclusion of the coral reefs.

I am the froth within waves of contentment

you are the salt lingering upon my lips

We are the bouquet within shoals of night

intoxicating, seducing, each other.

I am yours...Let me bathe you in the tides

Basking in reflection of pharos light.

We make love within the bed of the ocean
our kisses swirl in sheets of ivory sands
I am pink and you are lobster red
within seclusion of the coral reefs.

powerfully descriptive words. i am reminded of pablo neruda and his sonnet xvii.

very nice work in writing a romantic piece in such a creative way as to not succumb to drowning it in the temptation of going all "mushy" with it.

a great poem!

[SyberRose]

I will have to read his sonnet...thank you for your nice comments...and for peeking in:)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

again, beautiful love poem..

i like the uses of Blue....in this.

blue can be serene, deep halcyon, love, peace...but then blue is sad...dejected...
the sky looks and feels differently with or without you.

[SyberRose]

Thank you Jacob,always nice hearing from you...Rose:)

You're going to give Jack a run for his money with all these sensually romantic writes Rose, lovely, just lovely. Wish I could see the picture....

[SyberRose]

[Frieda P]

Nope, neither of them, and my pleasure.

[Frieda P]

[SyberRose]

[Frieda P]

That's why, if you have the URL, insert it into images, then it'll show up....

[SyberRose]

[Frieda P]

Copy and paste only seems to work for a while, not sure why that is....

[SyberRose]

[SyberRose]

Thank you dear...glad you enjoyed...Rose...hugss

[Soma-ko]

I love the myriads of ways you describe the beauty of love and romance. Another great one, enjoyed reading.

[SyberRose]

Thank you so much...I always love hearing from you Soma...and from reading your updated profile...I know so much more about you now...Rose:)

[Soma-ko]

I'm happy to know so. I too am thrilled whenever you leave a review on my poems because it lets me know that someone else who writes such amazing poems enjoys reading my poems as well. I was a little reluctant in putting out my actual information because of my age, and how others may react to it compared to my writing. Which is why I stuck to being a little more ambiguous. I hope to hear from you more, and thank you for writing the way you do.

[SyberRose]

Lots of wonderful writers of all ages here...age does not take away talent...and thank you for all your reviews too...:)

You writes are intoxicating in the good sense of the senses...Bravo...:)

[SyberRose]

Thank you Sami and so nice to hear from you as always...Rose:)

[Sami Khalil]

[quinfinn]

colorful imagery and some very evisceral feelings evoked here....at the subcutaneous level anyway...i could smell the salt air and feel the spray on my face..nicely done!

[SyberRose]

Thank you so much Quin...salt air has such a wonderful refreshing scent...thanks for peeking in:)

[Sarah Khalil]

I really enjoyed how sensual this poem is, particularly the taste of salt that lingers all the way through the poem and even after reading. The colors are soft and vibrant. How very romantic :)

[SyberRose]

Thank you Sarah...and for reading...Im glad you liked it...thanks for peeking in today...Rose:)
