Shssh

Foam upon the pebbles shssh Granting a mermaids wish To catch the Mermans eye And to lie a tolerant sky To hold at the waters edge And of their love to pledge Blessed by Aphrodites smile Hearts beat and idly while Kisses taken in gentle sips Love passed by sensual lips Aura calm and zephyr fair Eyes they deeply share And soon the tides will turn The beach they have to spurn Hand in hand back to the deep Each others arms to ever sleep

Great work, Daniel! I like the image of the merman and mermaid holding hands as they head "back into the deep." Quite a sensual experience described here with "Kissen taken in gentle sips" and "Blessed by Aphrodite's smile." Be careful, my friend, your talent is showing! Love, carolyn
