In the space between moments

'Neath moon-drenched waves of silver
Time's embrace so gently slows
And between the sprays of seaweed
A mermaid's song does flow...

~*~

Fragile dreams caress the tides
And dive through creamy foam
With water sprites to carry us
Here we can forever roam...

~*~

Water laces through my hair
And dewdrops kiss my skin
And within your pulsing eyes
Passion rises again..

~*~

And 'neath moon-drenched waves of silver
Time's embrace so gently slows
As within your touch desire's flame
Begins to brightly glow...

~*~

Beautiful poem, my dear!  I enjoyed this one much, especially the two lines
"Water laces through my hair
And dewdrops kiss my skin"
great image, hehe.
