Avast Ye Lovers- For Contest

AVAST YE LOVERS Plummeting into chilled water eyes closed to hold the image arms and legs flailing at beauty breathlessly submerged dancing weightlessly numbed by her liquefied vision adrift in the gaze of her eyes swimming in passion’s pure folly sinking through the blue of her eyes submerged in the depth of her smile smitten – at point of hot saber walking the plank of cold love John G.

Wonderful write John. At first I thought it was one of the pirate contests and it was about a mermaid. Then I realized it was the falling in love contest. Beautiful for either.
