Analysis of Waves Play Charades
I'm strolling along the beach,
just admiring the ocean.
When shadows in the moonlight,
guide my eyes to a motion.
Splashing in the distant whitecaps,
a bobbing figure taunts me.
She has raven hair and white skin,
like a mermaid of the sea.
Flaunting her sensual curves,
she performs an erotic dance.
And gyrates in sexy sways,
creating a hypnotic trance.
Ivory and ebony,
with emerald eyes bright as jewels.
A seductive siren beckons,
from shimmering blue pools.
Shifting clouds reduce the light,
till her silhouette fades.
And I'm left alone on shore,
watching waves play charades.
