Maid of the Sea

Water born maid
Sensuous siren is she
Torso of woman
Tail from the sea
 
Scaled shape
Naked to the waist
Long haired siren
Men long to taste
 
Mythical babes
Enchantment of men
Lured to love
In her forbidden den
 
Are they Atlante-an beings
From a forgotten past
Or a species outright
Or an evolution past
