Mermaids And Mermen

Graceful fingers slicing through the curves of the blue depths,
Froth, emblazoning the menacing movements of the reflexes,
A muscly metallic torso splattered with blues and gold’s and greens,
A sumptuous sight.
Shining colors on the distinguishing one piece,
Elegant mark from the neck to the thighs,
Resembling pride, strength, and
Craving victory.
Like a graceful attack of shark of its prey,
The swift, agile movements of muscular limbs,
Thrashing against the waters surface.
The blue that encases them all,
Shrieks in pain with every slice that is made,
Conspicuous scars left behind.
She travels across and turns around with bright face
Warmest smile within event of rings.
