                    Fearless, you stood atop the bow,    
              raised your bow, and shattered the moon.    
          Waves roared and ocean spray splashed salt    
    into your flaxen hair, cascading Stradivarius strings.    
             I felt the wind waver as you dappled     
      double-stops into Pachebel's progression, painting    
   your Clair de Lune canvas with Seruat's dots—    
            stippled stars under cerulean sky.    
Your siren song dove through sound waves and sea foam,    
      sotto voce symphonies melting into silence.  
   We waltzed through waves,   
               danced with dolphins,   
                                    and forgot    
                                              sharks swam   

                                                  somewhere  


                                                           below.  

The formatting didn't exactly work out as I planned. I attempted to shape the poem as a wave.
