Rippling waters moving feeling hypnotically soothing under our boat it rocks us under its spell it locks us misty fog slightly breezing dampening the salty air we’re breathing over our shoulders it shrouds us silhouetting the masts around us rippling waters moving feeling hypnotically soothing its rhythmic ride tells us to give in and let it lull us moody night skies reveal nothing to our eyes not the light of the moon or a star but secrecy’s a seductress where we are rippling waters moving feeling hypnotically soothing your sultry sway enables us to call upon Eros to cradle us Susan Ashley May 17, 2019 *In Greek mythology, Eros is the Greek god of love.*
