XIX. The sea kissed lips

Once upon a time

In a far away land

The dream of a boy

With a girl in his hand.

With love in their eyes

And a secret in their hearts

The promise of a promise

could never break apart.

Up against a world

Jealous of their innocence

The fight for a life

And a love so pure.

They sang no songs 

Of deep regrets,

Their bond unbroken

By envious pursuers.

They ran past Dawn

And against the night,

To the ends of the earth

In search of some light.

And again beyond

The knowledge of man.

Greeted by Venus,

The goddess of Love

Nettled with Envy,

Anger consumed in a jealous rage.

For never could she 

Have a love so true and fair.

So deceiving and luring,

She led them by hand.

She led them by hand

To their watery grave.

With never a guess

As the Sea did kiss 

Their frozen blue lips,

Into the depths

Of betrayal they fell--

A smile on their lips

And the promise in their hearts,

Together they fell.

Together they kissed

The Sea's luscious lips.

I enjoyed the whimsical flow....
"She led them by hand" {appears twice }
does not seem "So deceiving and luring,"

nice story line, sucked me in...good write!
