Mermaid

Quiet walks

Along the shore rocks

Waiting for a call

Just behind the seaweed wall

 

Turquoise shimmer

Dark shadows flicker

Candlelit meeting

For the one thing I've been needing

 

My legs become one

As I drift into the waters

Following one of Triton's daughters

Plummeting into the sea

 

But our time becomes limited

And back to the shore I drifted

Watching her slip away

Telling me come every other day

 

Looking out into the horizon's wefts

Begging God, "five minutes, please"

Love sunken with the memories

As she floats back into the oceans depths
