I swam in your seas Dived depths to plunder treasures From the dark ocean floor Felt the tumult of your soul crash over me Floated with you on calm blue waters warmed by the sun Lapping waves rhythmically revealing belly, breast, pearlescent scales, hair red as flame. Your lips formed a half-smile As you sang your siren song And I surrendered myself to an eternity of pleasures Now I am cast adrift, rudderless No horizon in sight Endlessly searching for a glimpse of you.

Ode to my Mer-Lover
I swam in your seas Dived depths to plunder treasures From the dark ocean floor Felt the tumult of your soul crash over me Floated with you on calm blue waters warmed by the sun Lapping waves rhythmically revealing belly, breast, pearlescent scales, hair red as flame. Your lips formed a half-smile As you sang your siren song And I surrendered myself to an eternity of pleasures Now I am cast adrift, rudderless No horizon in sight Endlessly searching for a glimpse of you.
Love the idea of mermaids and myths and fairy tales about them. Wanted to write something fantastical that also captures the longing for a passionate relationship long past.
