I wanted to structure this poem in the form of a Villanella but I did not want to be constrained by rigid rhyme so this is modified from the Villanella form.

Poseidon's Bride

Before the sea for her lover she awaits
to fall under forever into eternal depths
sweet maiden upon the rocky shore.

She calls like a sirens song
may the King of the Tides claim his bride
before the sea for her lover she awaits.

Virgin white clad against the wind
her heart already sacrificed on Poseidon's altar
sweet maiden upon the rocky shore.

She hears the cry within the waves
and trembles all over to be swept away
before the sea for her lover she awaits.

A kiss against her face in salty mist
her arms spread open ready to embrace
sweet maiden upon the rocky shore.

The tempest of her soul stirs churning waters
from the dark waters Neptune rises
before the sea her lover she awaits.

and away she is swept into eternity.....

    I owe you an apology. Not knowing anything about the structure for your poem I read slowly and carefully waiting for Neptune to dash this young ladie's dreams in waves of froth. Still not used to Happy Dark Muse--but she is nice to know. So the good news for me is that you are still unpredictable and surprising.

    Thank you, though perhaps this poem is not my usual doom in gloom, I had not thought it would be precieived as neccasiarly "happy" at least not in the standard since.

    Well I spend most of my time glaring at the half empty glass trying to convince myself it will fill up on its own later if I don't tamper with it. LOL--And yes I did think the poem was a happy ending.
