the mermaid of the full moon

once upon a time... the mermaid of cresting waves and high tide teaches the ocean to feel deeply.

When the moon is full
and the tide is high,
she fills the ocean with ecstatic peaks
and cresting waves.
Stirring waters with her undulating hips.

She swims naked where the moonlight shivers
on the surface of the open water,
making the ocean blush.
She twirls and pulses
through bioluminescent bays
and along silver shores.

She collects sounds of delight in seashells
and the waves break with joy.
They synchronise to her heart that beats with passion.
The touch of her skin against the cool, mystical waters
awakens pleasure and she makes the ocean glow
with her shining silver scales.

She energises the reefs
so they overflow with abundance
and reunites lovers,
wrapping them in a shimmer of sea silk.

When she dances so languidly,
the waves crest higher,
barnacles tremble and tentacles quiver.

Her tail caresses the water,
guiding fish into migration,
scattering a gentle wavering glow of lunar light.

Wherever she goes she brings her moonstruck mirror,
crafted from mother of pearl and sea glass.
Whoever she holds it up to, will see their true beauty
and their deepest desires without shame.
She is liquid seduction, bathing the ocean in radiance.

She teaches the seven seas to feel.
Deeply.
Wherever water flows,
she is the sea foam that bubbles and glows.
