Sea of Ecstasy

As every fibre of the body is awakened
by the tidal waves of endless rapture

The eternal ebbing of returning waves
are the timeless forces of nature

The slightest touch,
like the brush of a gentle breeze
on a summer's day
Which builds to the heights
of endless rapture

The waves return to lap the shore
to regain their gentle
but infinite power

The flow of ecstacy is recaptured
and endured forever

As an endless summers afternoon
the stillness lingers on
tirelessly in the air
somewhere in time

The everlasting beating
of a trembling heart
These powerful waves
return to lap the shore
Over and over
forevermore

As every fibre passes through
the depths of desire
Of  becoming one

As the breath is drained
from every fibre
of one's being

Sea of Ecstacy

WC Thank you for your comment. As you say the pleasures, the emotions. Those that are so strong where you have no control. Others, so serene and linger in the air. But you never ever forget, is what you felt in this moment. Whether it was seconds or hours. It stays with you, forever. You long for this again and again. You try to recapture the rapture, the tenderness, the love.
