Cerulean Sea Maiden
Cerulean Sea Maiden
Cerulean Sea Maiden
Sultana of azure Mediterranean crystal waves
That wash over her like the surf
from the Isle of Rhodes
On an ancient morning in paradise
When she bathed in the cerulean sea
With scarlet tresses glistening
Like embers from the hearth
Upon whose heat Vesta sautéed barley
For the soup of immortality
She is the grail of men far and wide
Who basks in the first pink blush of dawn
Like a nymph lost in dreams
Of the palace of Knossos
Where ritual fever greets her day
That summons her to awaken
To reveal the splendor of her ageless wonder
For priests of the catacombs
With her the treasure
That knows only the reborn sun

What a gorgeous portrayal of women and blending of mythology. Your crystal waves have washed over my mind, sparkling in a multi-color prism that reveals the true splendor of your words. You are a true romantic John and your portrayal of women is always divine. ;)

Kristina, I am enthralled by your appreciation of my envisioning of the female form. To know that you a woman see with me and feel the pleasure along with mine of the womanly aesthetics makes me feel complete as an author. I am most grateful to you for being the woman you are as your friend.
Much love,
John

When reading your extraordinary poetic imagery, filled with all it's rich emotional creativity and this wholly unique skillful ability you have of imbuing such a beautiful essence of magic, I marvel, my darling!! ... To combine what has always innately called out to men from the depths of the deepest oceans with all the curious mysteries of women themselves, well, it's no wonder so many are drawn to the allure of the sea and all the un-yet charted enchantments therein...
I adore your style and how I'm left feeling.... Bravo!
-missed you-

Susans, I am forever your male and loving admirer. Your empathetic connection with my words leaves me breathless and filled with the joy of a man whose poetry is appreciated by you the woman of my dreams. I love each lyrical note in your symphony of words on my poem that gathers like a skirt leaving your blessed wonder for me to behold through your genius with feminine language. I adore all that you are my darling sweetheart. You are the ultimate bride of all that is feminine and your words are the wild poppy whose splendor blankets me in the bed of your womanhood. I am so incredibly grateful to you for being the woman you will always be.
Deep lovers sigh,
John
