AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Vortex

One Shoot Picture prompt
~

Reeled into the vortex of your moment

Your wine
Stilling my
Alternative realities

The simmering
Seering aura of
Your dark beauty
Mischievously
Unwrapping
My secrets

I feel like a goddess
Discovered
Elevated
Elated

Dancing in
The shamanic whirls of your
Exotic cigars
~

One Shoot Sunday is hosted by Dustus @ One Stop Poetry
