I wish that you could see me,
The way I see me now.
My hair flows like silken fingers,
Reaching towards the bow.
Golden scales with a fire touch,
Like treasure now long lost.
Glinting amidst the waves at sea,
Calling men to forget the cost.
"Come to me!" I call them,
Waving delicate hands.
"Eternity awaits us,"
While smiling, he stands.
And overboard I take him,
To the depths where life is taken.
Unknowingly he follows,
No part of him is shaken.
I wish that you could see me,
In this ocean so calm and cool.
A mermaid undiscovered,
Just floating in her pool.
