Into Her Mystical Sea

Beyond the waves her voice an enchanting lyric
                                       
                               Stars sparkle in my eyes,               Of desire
          
                                          Her reflection a shimmer of loves radiance
                                        
               The drape of a waves crest         Ebbs from her shoulders
                              
                                  Forming an inlet where my soul is lost

      As she descends the staircase,                 She is like moonlight
                     
                         Her bare skin sweet as honeyed caramel

                 And I,                     Swallowed into her mystical sea

the broken offset lines add the rhythm of surf sets approaching the beach added to the intense images beguiling the lovers. Thanks for entering the contest

This was one of those writing prompts that at first left me no urge to write about...but then i wondered how I could do it in a delicate way. Thank you for your kindness to read.

Beantiful writing. I often "(form) an inlet where my soul is lost," in my imagination when I want to mediate.
