Silver Tails

A man saw four beauty queens of an ocean --

They were sitting on rocks;
Relaxing, while stirring their long 
silver tails back and forth in water.

Their healthy breasts and luring eyes 
hacked the man's heart;
Lust raised beyond the horizon.

They smiled at him and one of them said, "Come to us."
Elatedly the man swam and reached to them.
They circled him, and he came in jolly mood as
they were together getting close to him.
Smiling tenderly, they held him with their snow white hands.

Out of the blue,

Their eyes turned red as blood,
and then they drowned him 
to the bottom of the ocean to death.

Thanks a lot. Mam. Thanks for the suggestion, but I have already put this poem in the Brain's contest. I don't think we can include one poem in two contests.
