Silver in Azure

a poem...

 
In the Caribbean Sea, I saw you
like a shard of silver in the endless blue,
barely caught my eye among the 
tarpon, triggers, and turtles. 

You trailed behind me, carefully confined
a few feet below the wind swept waves. 
I looked down, while you were looking out. 

You were hiding your speed, your silver
skin, and your vicious hunger
behind your thin, sleek, toothy smile. 

When you turned, your body
revealed itself to me, predatory, 
sleek, aggressive, a weapon 
in the azure of you.
