This was a beautifully done free verse poem, Jess. Very sensual, yet "tasteful" at the same time. I loved the metaphor of the ocean with the surface and the depths contrasting the different experiences of carnal love that are possible. What a beautiful picture of you and your husband at your wedding too. What an attractive couple! - Jim

It's too bad you have to put a flag on this for sexual content, as many won't read it for that reason. But your meanings are awash (can't get away from the water theme here) in metaphor, so nothing is blatant.

I think it's a beautiful tribute to your husband and the love you have found together. Not all couples have found the physical excitement you have - you're very blessed.

Good luck in the contest. Beautiful picture, by the way.

    Thank you so much, Pam. I truly appreciate you saying that. I would have to agree... but I never know what one may be uncomfortable with- "submerged" metaphors and all. Haha

    I?m grateful to you, as always, for your thoughtful comments!

A wonderful photograph Jessica, a maiden on the cusp of marital bliss. I enjoyed your sensual and erotic post, delivered in a subtle and rather wild sexual parade. I wish I had a six for you as this is magical, love Dolly x

This love poem, Take Me Down, brings the poetic depiction into the description of that tussling discovery of each others secrets in the heights of intimacy. Nice.

Wow, this is a goodie, Jessica! I like your rather cheeky put-down of those lovers who simply glide and drift, making a dramatic contrast with your much more emboldened and passionate dive into that "roaring sea." Your metaphor perfectly depicts your total immersion into this "tempestuous" experience and your all-consuming sense of total abandonment. Excellent and a strong entry! Well done, Debbie

Saucy stuff but treated with subtlety and sensitivity through your utterly effective and engaging metaphor. Certainly not warranting all those warnings. Why deter adults from reading such a beautiful expression of love?

    Haha thank you so much. I appreciate you saying that. I would love to do without the warnings- however, Ive found that some adults can be rather sensitive.

    Thank you for your lovely comment, as always! Xo
