My Journey Down South (Prose Poem)

I travel across her skin, slowly exploring but expertly navigating her sumptuous terrain

 enjoying all the beautiful scenery, only taking time to stop for quick mental panoramic pictures.

 

The journey began in the mountains north, slowly following the valley south between the majestic peaks, and across the foothills to a small shallow sinkhole located just north of her pleasing forest

 

I continue my journey to the edge of the forest anticipating my trek through to the place I now seek. I wander the outer edges to take in all the beauty until my desire for my final destination is too strong

 

I enter the forest full of want and expectation trying hard to hold back from just rushing right thru and expend all my energy just to quench my ever-growing need to finally be in that place.

 

Alas I emerge to the other side of the forest and behold the wonders of this place.

The contours of the landscape before me was breathtaking, two gentle hills divided by a narrow but inviting valley split the two,  leading to the very place pleasure and life are created. The very aroma filling my head with pleasing thoughts of ecstasy, enticing my hunger as I now taste the passion upon my lips.

 

I have reached my destination and my journey south is now complete.

I think I will lose myself within this place for a while

before I take the back way home
