Venus and The Sailor, 1925, by Salvador Dali
I pulled you
from the sea
only to drown
in your seduction.
Who is this Venus
that has bound
me by her flesh?
I have drunk
from Eros cup
that rests
upon your lips
and still I thirst.
Freedom, my mind
screams to know it,
but my body clings
to your silken chains.

Classic co-dependency.
And you wisely point out the thirst quenched by 'Eros cup' is always back tomorrow, thank goondness!
Ahh...it's that old devil called love. He's sunk! lol
Very nice interpretation of the pic.
oh one sip is enough and never really enough...just enough to get you hooked and leave you thirsty...and yes we often trade our freedom for that...nice one susie...
"Silken chains." Well described; good work.
Guess it's best to give in gracefully at times! LOL
I love the power your Venus has over this sailor boy!!!
Interesting what Ford said about the co-dependency...nice write Susie...
...and still I thirst. Yes, he's giving up his freedom for sure ;P
I really like the sound of this one. It just flows.
=)
Gorgeous poem, I could drown in your words!
Ohh so wonderfully depicted. Every stanza has a uniqueness of mood for two souls in love :)
She certainly has a hold on the sailor boy, 'drowned in his seduction'. Nicely written Susie!

There is something very " Ursula Andress emerging from the sea " about this , Susie , very erotic, thanks
Strong sense of an almost magnetic draw here. Her irresistable charms may be his undoing!

Nicely done :)
