Watery wind

Crashing white foam

Sand dancing delicately

on the moonlit shore

Pale blue silk

Sea sprayed gown

Water-drop pearls

decorate a rose colored mouth

Coral toe tips

Ocean embrace

Pale white face

eyes open and breathless

A name on her whisper

A face in her mind

Ocean fog coming

To capture it’s bride

Footprints flooded

With silky dark waves

Not on this night

She is not the ocean’s to claim.
