August night, hair stickin'
to the back of my neck,
mosquitos buzzin'
at low tide I waded across the inlet
to his fishin' shack
water lappin' at my thighs
mystique of Samba, Santeria,
the heat of his body pulled me
seduced into his reality
where shy, hesitant
girls are transformed, by
rituals of sweat and rhythm
I trembled when it happened, he whispered
"you like it now,
but you'll learn to love it later"

Devil, temptor or man with high hopes and no chance of realization. You paid your price to get there, most of the poem chronicles that. I find it interesting that he is the one who wants to continue and you are mute on the issue. Hmmmm
Love Tom B.

you love to torment me, don't you ?

*OMG* What? Torment? Nah. Just ground you with a little reality now and then. You can jump over most people. I have longer arms and can pull you back down so you remember what it is like down here.

Very romantic, and mysteriously so. From the moment the lady steps into the water to wade to his shack, her life will be changed forever, liking it now, but loving it forever.
She has apparently been worshipping the fisherman from afar for a long time now, but at last she relents.
Very nicely done. Thanks for entering, and good luck in the contest.

Beautiful!
Such suspense in this message of intrigue! Truth be found in the simmering night with a summer breeze. Great poem Luna! Sets the mind and heart in motion. The adventure has only just begun. Don

Beautiful write, Luna. This expressed lots of passion. I liked the way you ended it. It seemed to give the poem a dark romantic feeling to it. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest.
