Sea nymph of Pacific pleasures
Many a man has fallen for you
Enticing them with hidden treasures
Dressed in crystal azure blue

Undulating waves in perfect motion
She casts a glance and tides obey
Mistress of the vast blue ocean
Changing appearance each night and day

When she smiles, the sea is fair
Her sunlit waves kiss velvet sand
Tradewinds blow her silken hair
She beckons a lover to take her hand.

Tho’ be forewarned of her fickle moods
Changing as the skies turn gray
Her oceanic attitudes
A tempest tossed on stormy day

Don’t ever turn your back on her
She demands respect; don’t be a fool
Seducing waves of blue allure
May suddenly turn her tides on you

She softly sings her ancient songs
Calling her lover from upon the shore
She knows his heart to her belongs;
That he’ll return to her once more.

Bewitching temptress, lady in blue
Who can resist your mystical call?
Men through the ages have fallen for you
Never could one,resist you at all.

Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa

Hello Cheryl

I feel honoured to be the first to comment on such an outstanding piece of writing.  The picture and the images portrayed through your words were magical.

Take care.....Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Excellent metaphor and yet a reality in a sense, for those who are bitten by the sea fall to 'her' allure continually.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

YAY!!! Oh my gosh, I love nymphs and I love mermaids so so much, this is my favorite of yours yet, I just have to add this to my library because it is so magically beautiful! (kiss on cheek) Outstanding, sweet friend, we all love you so much, and if you love mermaids, I wrote a poem titled "Tiffany Mermaids" on Open you might like! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Cheryl, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
