Seashells whispering by a pebble strewn sea,
Whisper me your secrets of the wild Lorelei,
I will gather me a footstool and a blanket of debris,
And here I will close my eyes and listen silently,
Silent is the whooshing waves,
that kiss your mollusk flesh,
Pearls forming in your lips,
squeezed in your enmesh,
Moisture weeping to and fro; the tide washed scents the wind does blow,
And here I lay and ponder; seashell cadence slow;
Let me pluck a seashell, and feel the porcelain smooth,
Tender as I rub my fingers, tracing circular, they move,
The soft sighs whispered in reply; my dreamy mermaid fair,
I feel her tangled soft breeze locks, floating in the air,
Reaching deeper supple silken, tracing every curve,
Sweet soft sensual sighing songs then a tickled latent verve,
Deep sucked breaths in cresting sighs and writhing on the shore,
Sweet fawn’s breath on nape of neck; dreaming ever more,
Warmth it touches seashells sting, cutting deep into my bare fleshed back,
Nibbling ruby red dream lips and gently pressing back,
Wake me soon to flooding tides,
To warmth of parting petaled flesh,
Flipping lips in tongue tipped whips;
seeking pearls in seashells,
Yet waking to an empty shell splayed mess………

sensual poem
This poem is beautiful and unique. I don't think I've ever read a poem about shells (as metaphor or not) written with this depth of intimacy and erotic flair. The only suggestions I have are that "ever more" seems a bit easy and reminds me of Poe poem which is very different from this one. I think you can come up with an even better, more original rhyme. Otherwise I think this poem is lovely and sad. -
*smiles at artis*
'twould appear that ye both 'ave a way wi' words. ahh, the masterfuly written word joe, gets a responce evera time ye know and this.. well aye, it did that. so sensual, and i suppose that i canna blame ye, as ye were in the viinity of oysters... ( they do 'ave somwhat of a reputation) but in likeness to a woman... i think that is a wealt of knowlege that ye could gleam from this. love is like a pearl joe and in each one of us, there is that pearl. it only takes someone willing to tenderly pry open the shel, and delicatly prod into us... deliciously sensual, and enticeing. one wonders... ye canna 'ave hidden your pearl verry well if it shows like this...

Hey Joey,
Just cruising through your work and came upon this one. Loved the way the seashell strewn beach said so many things to you but was just a "mess" the next day. The world is just what we imagine it to be, or as Willy Wonka put it, "If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it."
Beautiful poem. Thanks!

i love the metaphores... the sensual flow of the poem... i'm left without words at it's beauty...
l'océan est beau, aussi beau que votre poésie, aussi belle que très bien des perles -
encased within the silken layers of flesh lies that spot that makes all women shine..to reach it you must shuck all inhibitions
and bury your whole self into the task, splitting the halves with gentle pressure..tickling the center till the irrataion is removed
and replaced with the extreme joy captured by the satisfied gleam in her sated eyes....and then you will express pearls as well in huge teardrop shapes to fill her willing welcoming vessel with their sheen....Artis -
Ohh I just read that again...waking to an empty shell splayed mess...lol!
Funny funny Joe!

Well' You know what they say about Oysters Joe ? ah huh'
Jo Jo this washes over and over the mind like the waves that lap agaisnt the shore.. slowly building to that rhythmic climax
fulfillment between her 'the shore, the earth' and him the masculine Ocean.. bringing a soft tender sensual dance to mind like that of lovers
'What a Beautiful metahpor Joe' We as humans are truly so connected to that of nature that is all around Us aren't We?

The photo in itself is a fine piece of art work...your sense of rightness within the frame, the care in choice of angle and how the landscape divides the picture equally, sky, middle, foreground. Me likes the care you have taken.
You took an enqual measure of care with your words, and certainly, my heart is beating just that bit faster. Lovely work, and many wishes of luck. -

Kalexi is very right! A yummy write indeed...delicious, delectable!
"Sweet soft sensual sighing songs" - this, my dear friend, is the alliteration that I so hunger for when reading your poems. Usually alitteration makes a poem all tick-tocky and choppy. I don't like that, but these gentle words alliterate with such grace they portray the sensuality that you are writing about.
You're a wonderful poet and an excellant photographer and an extraordinarty person.
Of course, this one did not dissapoint my expectations of the art you produce.
Beautiful work.

Joe, it seems you are as much a wordsmith as you are a photographer - delicate words carefully crafted into art - I enjoyed the smooth, gentle picture you've painted - excellent work ~ peace, Brian
