Magpie Tales 135: She Holds the Ocean


Venus and the Sailor, 1925, by Salvador Dali via Magpie Tales

 Sinking into her gelid depths
drawn under by aphrodisiac waves
pillowed between gravid curves
pulling me across the rail
swells upon a Mare Libido
into which I fall with abandon
never to be seen again

    Great word usage in this poem. I had to use a dictionary, but now I know two new words. Nicely done.
