A boy
Washed ashore her dreams
Naked and nameless
Translucent skin gleaming
With iridescent scales
Like orient jewels winking
In the moon’s
Alabaster downlight
A sublime encounter
Rapturing her senses
In the mystery
Of his agate eyes
And quaint smile
There were no words
Between them
Only curious touches
Of hesitant fingertips to skin
And a silent wish
Thrummed on the wistful
Beat of her heart
To linger
Within the surreal
Enchanted
By his serene beauty
