A voluptuous and sultry sight,
she drips of stoic grace
The water nymph with mystic powers,
looking for embrace
She sets the sky a vibrant hue,
it glistens as it swirls
Inside her heart she holds the dreams,
she had as a small girl
In tuned with the salty crest,
a young man’s sheer delight
Pausing to show her precious smile,
dancing with the moon at night
Forever men do seek to find,
a treasure pure as she
She’ll tempt them in then fade away,
into deep obscurity
A shameful lass with girlish charm,
so innocent and kind
A mixture of both want and need,
stirred by the sands of time
Yet in her life she may not love ,
she’s only meant to tease
Like the wind that blows across your neck,
a cool and tingling breeze
An ageless wonder a gift to all ,
as warming as the sun
To shine as bright as all the stars,
never to be outdone

Interesting that you thought of a water nymph when looking at this pic. It reminded me of space instead, lol.
Anyways, I like the title because I like nymphs.
The fact that she was not meant to love and the mention of the wind reminds me of a femme fatale, hehe.
Thanks for entering my contest!
Blessings,
