Neptunes Mermaid Meditation

NEPTUNES MERMAID MEDITATION With sceptre in hand – crowned—underwater enthroned King Neptune absorbed as aquatic muses reflect the moonstone Mysterious, mischievous—long meridian tresses entice Mother-of- pearl, fish-tailed multi-formed, misty vice Mythological, enchanting underwater innocence disguised Benevolent, bestowing beneficial misadventure, compromised Perilous floods, storms and shipwrecks-- drowning of lovers Their musical murmurs mesmerize- as murky moisture covers Odyssey --mistakable striking attractive form-- femme fatale Captivating voices beckoning sailors, mirrors and combs-- lure and impale Neptune meditates in his Mediterranean splendour Holding court, entertained, in Oceans depths—ultimately to surrender Kim van Breda—February 2013
