Sapphire
Cobalt cold
a blue, like cranberry juice
a richness...none-too-sweet - so resonant
competing with tartness in me
Deep teal, seeping teal;
bottomless as soul
We swam in air...or water
detached - a match in the drink
I knew what you were thinking
I knew better than to blink
Swaying up on seabeds
I wore...something, I recall it not...
maybe it was naught
spines weaving waves
sparring the tide
My frame,
gaining your gazes
Contrary outlander fire blazed
We faded, freaks allying our intensities
under uncanny light - deviant flame
My hair pooling - mousey
I was drowsy
You were rousing
I felt it in your ribs
Aloft, I was...
Then;
you held me...a softness
A boldness
Sevenfold strength to my form
Floating, recognizing...
the same same brine in my eyes

Thank you! This is such a purposefully vague one because it was somewhat in the first place, but it was oddly personal so I wanted to capture the 'essence' of it and let the readers have their own impressions.
I mean , I usually do anyway, it especially with this one.
Thank you for sharing yours, and the kind words! :)

beautiful Atomik One you I love writing about dreams
that deeply affect me...
you brought this one to life...
it seemed sexual to me anyway...
beautifully told...
love Brenda

Yes! It was hard to capture the subtlety of it without neglecting the sexual tones, or overdoing it.
I love that you could connect with this, and I've really enjoyed reading your pieces on dreams <3

Dreams are crazy enough when you write them down, but in poetic format this intriguingly made sense.

blue lips, crayola crayons, pixi dust, barrier reef.
"deviant flame
My hair pooling - mousey
I was drowsy
You were rousing
I felt it in your ribs " -you left us drinking a tall glass of everything that was you in that moment.
you make me want to buy honey mead.
well penned.
