Poem of a Dream

Down Below

Midnight waters
Dark haired daughters
Swimming in a salty sea
Glowing skin
A light within
Not a stitch of clothes I see
Her black eyes lure medown below
Not a single word is spoken
Wet lips meet mine
down below
Not a single vow is broken

Her fingers lick
My skin does tickBubbles from my mouth do burst
She swallows each
Within her reach
I suck on her to quench my thirst
She pulls me deeper
down below
So many caves to explore
She binds me down there
down below
Until I breathe no more

A Mermaid by John William Waterhouse
