Mermaid

My passions murmured in her screams
Haunting the oceans of my dreams
Fishing with strawberries and cream
Aquatic fantasies swiftly releasing steam

As she glides netted in my sinews
Lubricated, she flings her exotic, oiled fins 
I dive eyes blazing, guiding me to her lips 
I hold my breath into the depths of her hips

Synchronising, losing all fear of drowning
Dying abreast, I owe her this yawning
She whispers to resurface and feel the sun
I take a deep gasp, back breaking dawn
