I smell it, it caresses the senses
fills the nights void
with a myriad of intensity...
One thing, two, even more
it is a rose upon the marbled floor
the step of a perfumed woman
opening and entering her homes door
I feel it
boiling, rolling like a wave
rolling winds of experience
enabling feeling
disabling fear....
It is the smell of the river
the push of the oars, the parting of the water
two lovers together, hand in hand
the flame of fyre and the soul
passion of the embrace....
The man and woman, beneath the hearth
as the muses play their song....
I see it, i feel it!
i taste it, i hear it
I smell it
The world is about
The land is me!

the compliment is well taken and appreciated! Im glad you seen the desired feel of it, and indeed, intense emotions like you said (desire) are often expressed as such.
thank you, once again!

the push of the oars, the parting of the water
two lovers together
... those lines in particular appeal to me, highly poetic and intellectually arousing. I'm not a fan of "..." at all in poetry, I always feel the required flow can be gained from the words alone. Also, the intermixed "I" and "i" seem a bit odd; is there a reason for that?

I love how you write here. Just beautiful. especially also
'The man and woman, beneath the hearth
as the muses play their song....'
There are just three spelling errors in the last stanza. You need to change the single i to I.
ie. 'i taste it, i hear it' should be 'I taste it, I hear it'.
It flows and works much better. A very striking and thought provoking poem however.
I love the imagery that your words invoke in my mind. 'the push of the oars, the parting of the water'... I can see it if only I let myself go. I can see the murky water... with just the hint of danger of crocodiles.. or just of the unknown. I see and feel the calm ripples of the water subsiding against the soft strokes of the wooden oars, splitting its surface. Fave.
