Hemmed In Feminine

Scale mosaic tail lays gracefully draped over rock
Sumptuous hip width to skin graduates
Saturated waist trailing tendrils touched by moss
Silk mermaid nautical languor eminates
Sorrow in inhibit, love's absence induces her sobs


Vanguard calmly addresses the depths with probe
Weaving seemlessly amongst seaweed 
Gentle marina mistress, Clementine reserves hope
For a qualified merman, in love succeed
Tugged subtly by tides of princely promises flowed


Spell of solo exploration doesn't tarnish bright fins
Siren inspired by increasing innate talent
Sanguine supple lovely needn't gun for yang to yin 
Suitor to exceed her calibre, most haven't 
Shown aptitude for brave compassion, closest kin


Clam fan covered curves retain an untainted heart
Slender arms open troves old tides buried 
Gracious Clementine stays patient for Cupid's dart
Pleasant peaks of top lips drip salt, selfish
Lungs unemcombered by blunder summons laugh


Tinkle bells bemused chortle across vibrant pearls
Heightened by judicious standpoint jubilee
Felicious pageant entrant in a  fish tail gown swirls
Heavy gems adorn torso tight with chastity 
Air orgasmed chest of benevolent treasure unfurls

this is a stunning tour de force of language and i very nearly placed it in the top three, but just wondered if it was maybe a little adjective-heavy(?) nevertheless it's an excellent poem - congrats on your win in my contest :)
