Neptune's Daughter

It was a romance
That began
Late one night
Aboard a fishing boat
Headed out to sea.
The seeds
May have been
Planted earlier,
But it wasn’t until then
That we were
Formally introduced.
I was mesmerized
By her dark beauty,
And tantalized
By the fragrance
Of her breath
As I was baptized
By her salty spray.
She enticed me on,
Seducing me
With her mystery
And her charm.
I wanted to know
Her intimately,
To ply her swells,
To dive into
The depths of her world,
And to walk
The sands of distant shores
Where she played.
She was Neptune’s daughter
And I would spend
The rest of my life
In her pursuit.
