Olookaylani

Tropical, ocean tides, that flow and seek
Blue sea sparkles resplendent with foam peaks
Soft music strums, magicked the stars delight
To shimmer and wink in the sky, so bright

In to the water, a fisherman falls
Death stalked and beckoned to the coral halls
Sweet Olookaylani, you came for me 
Siren mermaid, sleek, glorious beauty

I muse in you, my love, do you hear me?
Ukulele sounds drift enchantingly
Are you the light that flashes yes, I sea
Sweet Olookaylani, come back for me

Moon glows, bioluminescence, salt sprays
Love longs, warm breezes, blow kisses your way

P.S. Awtry July 5, 2019 at 9:28 AM This certainly is a beautiful sonnet! Reads like a winner to me <3 Georgia Kereopa July 5, 2019 at 8:31 PM Thank you. PS, my first sonnet so was a little worried about keeping to the guidelines and what fun to write with brevity.
