The below is a computer generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

This poem uses vivid imagery to capture the intensity of a passionate moment between two lovers. The contrasting images of crystal clear water and fiery passion create a dynamic tension that propels the poem forward. The repetition of the phrase "keep me close" adds a sense of urgency and longing to the poem, emphasizing the desire to hold onto the moment before it slips away.

One possible line edit could be to replace "Imbedded" with "Embedded" in the last stanza for grammatical accuracy.

Overall, "Keep Me Close" is a well-crafted poem that effectively conveys the intensity of a romantic encounter. The use of sensory details and repetition help to create a sense of urgency and longing, making for a memorable and emotionally resonant poem.

What a beautiful description of those rare moments when two people's souls mingle and, for a brief moment, there is no world except that which is in them.
