Night Swimming~

a silken splash as my head parts the waters
cool on my skin after your hot breath
I dive deep, piercing the waves
rolling and diving with the grace of an otter.

My world is painted in black and electric blue
reflection of moon on water.

My lover joins me
wading cautiously in
this is no time for care or fear
I slither between his legs
twining my way up his body
python strong I squeeze...

then with a flash of silver belly to the moon
I push off with all strength from his body

avoiding the net
the curve of my hip
enticing another sailor into the sea
like so many before him

Looking to make a trophy of me
to model me on the prow of a ship
to be the first
the only

To make the mermaid mere mortal~
