Water Nymphs

In waters deep,

I did forgo,

My worldly life,

As they bestowed,

Upon my tender heart,

Their love,

A fond farewell,

To the world above,

So in their arms,

At their behest,

I gave my love,

For eternal rest.

As old school...

as any I've heard lately. I love the simple flow and the language fits perfectly! Nothing I could add, would make this better.~ Geezer.

Hi

I like how you saved the rhyme until the end to give emphasis

Just amazing. So many images come to mind. This has been written about and captured in recorded music countless times since before humans wrote stuff down. I love it. Geezer is correct, I would not mess with this, I’d just convolute it.

Really impressed,
Tim
