Above the water, drifting by the warm breeze
while below she swims, to await
beneath, lurking within murky seas
for me, to be her pulseless mate

Ever so slowly, she circles around
my boat, picturesque as she
breaks through, without a sound
above the water, she looks within me

Reels me in, with alluring deep green eyes
lovely hidden evil, she wants to drown
the life within, as she innocently tries
to pursue me, to pull me down

Submerged under water, a suffocated fate
captured, in a trance used to compel
me onto her hook, enchanting beauty as the bait
that casted upon me, a mermaids spell.
