Default Nikki Sue Nikon's Word of the Day #7 - Intimacy

Intimacy
Intimacy

Alone together on a crowded beach
Playing a concerto of their own.
The prelude, a gentle touch of a toe.
Lilting lyrics of a longing look
The song of a sigh from the strings of the heart
Movements bred from melodies of conversation.
The cacophony of a sour note
lost in the safety of your forgiveness.
~Mike~

I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

T. S. Eliot

Mike this and the others in this series are brilliant, you capture the moments well and add such fitting words.

I like the B&W

I could see your shots strung along a wall as a meditative type of exercise as you combine the words with the scene. It causes one to explore the frame a little further......to evaluate whether or not the words ring true or if there is more there

Thanks Monty. I really don't know many poet's works.

Thanks, Angela. I've been having fun. I thought B&W would be good on this because it's supposed to be all about the people.
