The Woman and the Sea
By Stephanie C.

The woman and the sea
Knew each other well
One the cavalier,
The other mademoiselle
When his salty breeze
Grazed past her rosy skin
The lady just blushed softly
But was slow to let him in
Even so, the sea
Did not give up so fast
He knew her heart was shaken
From mistakes made by the last
She'd been with the river
Who moved full-speed ahead
Babbling promises he'd keep her
Yet spit her out instead
Now left in the moonlight,
The maiden met the shore
A water much more steady
Than the one that came before
Resting in sea's stillness
Her heart slowly unfurled
The sureness of the ocean
Enveloped the girl
The truth was home had found her
This was no fantasy
And that's the way the story ends...
