Susan Ashley Poet Lyric

Shrouded In Sultry Seduction

Rippling waters moving
feeling hypnotically soothing
under our boat it rocks us
under its spell it locks us

misty fog slightly breezing
dampening the salty air we’re breathing
over our shoulders it shrouds us
silhouetting the masts around us

rippling waters moving 
feeling hypnotically soothing
its rhythmic ride tells us
to give in and let it lull us

moody night skies
reveal nothing to our eyes
not the light of the moon or a star
but secrecy’s a seductress where we are

rippling waters moving
feeling hypnotically soothing
sultry sway hypnotizes us
as Eros glamorizes us
