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

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.
