Aphonic

cursed fog whirls over jagged clifftops.
sea witch myths make pirates pale.
wind gusts bluster through castle rock.
eels spy on unfortunate lost souls.
statues fall prey to the king of the seas.

without her voice, storms sing.
booming tides burst boulders.
tail fins turn to toes in human pink.
a prince awaits before sand dunes.
as rosy hands meet, warmth binds.

three days are left to sink in love.
swamp waters samba with firefly bulbs.
she needs more than faith to keep her above.
two sweethearts ruffle land lake ripples.
deep blue eyes covet a passionate kiss.

lightning breaks sky, releasing rain beads.
a twirling potion unleashes a spell.
flute music entangles full moon’s gleam.
the tune of another lures this prince in persuasion.
deceitful plans set a water world ablaze.

feisty waves energize a wedding sunset.
an evil villain tries to steal the trident for royal power,
until a schooner’s bow strikes their violaceous chest.
mermaids and mortals unite and rejoice.
lips of lovers finally touch; harmony triumphs.
