The Sea Fell in Love With Me

How do you fall in love with a goddess?
No, the more important question would be...
how does a goddess fall in love with you?

A scrawny geek perches on an old dock,
legs swinging into strong blue waves,
looking up into an endless blue sky.
The sea licks and whips his bare feet.

The sun won't set for hours,
so what is that shining on the water,
like sunlight through a crystal?
Golden, deep pink and white...

He draws his feet beneath him,
eyes raking over this new spectrum.
Is that...?
No, it cannot be.
A face in the water...
a beautiful face, with sweet, light eyes.

The water claws at the dock,
forming sleek hands
with gleaming fingernails.
It softens into golden skin,
and smiles with magenta lips.

The water lady embraces him with a hand,
too big to use her arms, for fear of drowning him.

My love... how would you like to live forever with me?
