A Sonnet to the Sea

A lone island tranquil and still,

Her faint figure, hard to ignore,

Concealed in the shadow,

Men drawn in, the promise of more,

Ripples of the sea sparkle,

The setting sun ignites the waves,

Body outlined, beside the twilight,

Her poignant song travels to the pirates sails,

An oceans teardrop falls on her skin

No fairytale, shells, coins and gems,

Awake and alive, her smile enchanting,

He discovers her world, a surprising escape,

Lost in her eyes, reality crumbled,

And his dreams began to take shape.

A little look at the sea, in particular, mermaids which I've always been fascinated with.
