mermaid far from sea
from dreams, it would seem

how is it that the odds
are in my favor for once?

not only can you walk
the ground in
warm welcome
of your pretty step

you can talk

but above all else

you talk to me
you walk beside me

sea legs I see legs
they're there
so elegant
the way they
rest upon one
another

and time is the enemy
the one time it seems to be on my side
for once i want
it to stop completely

gravitational
sensation
pulls with
enchanted
verbalization

you smile
i can't help but to fixate on
that tender arch in your lips
i long for them

and i think that smile could be for me

for once i think it could be for me
