| Venus and The Sailor, 1925, by Salvador Dali |
to serenade with you
our dark glasses hiding us
the water is still
but we are splashing the ship
where did you send your crewmen
are they on a tryst like you?
I understand solitude,
the need of it
and why not-
it is a constant for me
"come my sailor, let me go now
sky waits to take me to mars
where my podgy thighs might thin out"

I crave my solitude. Days drag when I leave it behind, waiting for my return.
Very strong work. Salute!
If we have to go Mars to lose the podgy thighs there's no hope left.
I understand the need for solitude...
You are the second poster to have some Dali in your link....I love the cadence and flow of this...I felt the tide turn....
I agree about the Dali. Podgy thighs? Mars is out of the question, so I take the stairs! As for solitude, yes, that's when I write, and crave I do... Lovely! Peace, Amy

Oh, how I need to go to Mars!
I too understand the need of solace..lovely poem
Wow...loved it:)
Lovely poem. I don't know whether Mars is a good idea... to sojourn with the God of War ....or maybe she want a baptism of fire :)
Solitude is a weight and yet also teaches a lot..Jae
Like other readers, I gravitate to your handling of solitude and its many facets.
My podgy thighs...made me smile.
Lovely imagery.
love this
especially the italicized bit at the end.
=)
Podgy thighs or no, everyone craves love even Venus. Many artists seem to have a desire to destroy women's beauty, it must be envy. So much admiration over the centuries clearly palls, I can hear her saying "Stop looking at me, listen to what I am saying."
I never thought of Venus as craving solitude. :)
Even Venus desires to be loved once in a while. The tryst is so ethereal..
Since i met her , i have never felt alone,but sometimes lonely.
This is wonderful my friend. Love the image you have added to your words. Excellent.
Melanie
the need for space and adventure together in all aspects a good write
I too am one who savors solitude...beautiful poem.
even Venus worries about her "podgy thighs" ~ i LOVE IT!

Gautami,
Read 2 poems now. An artist does not let creative side falter for long. Constant solitude does affect one.
Take care
