The Gift of This Eve

One enchanted evening
I followed Luna’s moon,
as She guided my ship
to a secret lagoon.

In a golden ocean
buffed to a mirror sheen,
I spied the sexiest
mermaid I'd ever seen.

She flaunts ebony hair
befitting, a true Queen,
offset by a sweeping
tail of aquamarine.

Anchored in the shallows
I waded to the shore,
and evoked the magic
that would open love's door.

Under a full March moon
she steps from fantasy,
and rises from the sea
to make sweet love to me.

Sharing this special night
I know that she must leave,
and I’m to be content
with the gift of this eve.
