Plot of the Siren

I saw the undulating belly of the sea
  Sensuous and beckoning me
  Frilled dress of tides pulled up
  Over white thighs of sand
  Ripples of fingers from a caressing hand
  My eyes took the portrait like a cup
  My tongue lingered at its rim
  The siren's lips singing seduced me to sup
  And through the rocks my desires swim
  My hunger could not leave her supple thighs
  Softly whispering promising things to me
  I cross the hesitant beach to joy in glory.
