Peaceful Waters - meaning Summary

Tender Images of Intimacy

This short lyric presents a sequence of serene images that move from landscape to intimate address. Repeating a phrase about "peaceful waters," the poem aligns air, a starlit pool, and a lover's mouth to suggest calmness, desire, and tenderness. Each tercet narrows perspective from distant nature to close human contact, so the natural world becomes a mirror for quiet erotic longing and affectionate closeness.

Peaceful waters of the air under echo's branches peaceful waters of a pool under a bough laden with stars peaceful waters of your mouth under a forest of kisses.
