There was a certain lure

of idleness

Within waves

of her golden hair

A tranquil haven to escape

From the worldly normal fayre

 

Her eyes

were hidden treasures

Of ruby & emerald glimmer

Her skin sparkled

like frosty morns

Under moonlit silvery shimmers

 

As I dived into

her ocean deep

She drowned me in delight

Then sang a lament

old & true

Under the starlit sky of night
