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
