Dark Waters

Dark Waters
calm and mysterious
silently flowing
yet somehow
alive with allure

Their soft eddies
playfully twirl and slide
like tiny silken ringlets
searching the skin
of a warm ebony neckline

Gentle waves
crest then fall
with just a glint
of white foam
a spark perhaps
or a sweet teasing wink
from deep seductive eyes

A liquid touch
against the shore
sends a thin cool mist
to quietly kiss
shy blushing leaves
as if it were
the barest tickle
of a whispered secret
softly breathed
from moist crimson lips

Slowly they glide
with the hint
of a delicate murmur
like tiny trickling notes
happily dancing
from the song
of a mischievous giggle

Dark Waters
smooth and quiet
inviting
sensuous
how they beckon me
to drown in passions' bliss
