Little Ariel, with green fins, red hair do you know hat your voice will take you anywhere? She reminds me of a time, before things fell I pray to the lord he’s not sending me hell. But I don’t believe so, this time a new song plays I believe this is part of the key however, whenever this time and place lastly I’ll say— God? Do I have a blessing on the way?

ARIEL
Honestly, I think about you every single day. From the moment we first met, To this moment today. You simply amaze, My heart is ablaze; I fell for you in all sorts of ways. Now here I am, missing you today, As I sit here in silence, my heart feels astray. And as the day comes to an end, The thought of you drifts into my mind. I lay back to relax, After all, dreaming of you helps me unwind. As I close my eyes, The thought of us drifts through my head. We're going places, Full speed ahead. You take my hand, We're running through a prairie. And before I know it, We're surrounded by fairies. To our left, there's a pirate, Who's missing a hand? "Look, flying above us! It's Peter Pan!" So Neverland is where you've decided to take me. Where we never grow old, stay young, and fly freely. Well, now it's my turn, Take my hand and count down from three. I'll give you a hint, We'll be deep beneath the sea. As you open your eyes you gasp! We're right beside a whale. I point down, "Look, you've got a tail! Come, follow me, Through the deep blue sea. I'll introduce you to my friends, And of course, Chef Louis." We swim down through a city, To a palace, we are let in, Where we meet Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian, and of course, King Triton. A throwback to our childhood, At least for me, "I know you love water, So let loose Swim free" After a while, You give me a kiss, "What was that for?" I ask "It's for all of this" You smile and say "Even though this is great, It's my turn now, And I cannot wait." You take my hand, As we swim towards the sky. "This time will be different, It'll be just you and I." "Where are we going?" I begin to ask. "You'll see soon enough, Now put on this mask..." "I feel so distant, It's silent, are we far?" You slide off my mask, "Look at all those beautiful stars." I stand there in awe, Then look back to your face. "Dear, wh-where are we?" "You dingus, we're in space." All around there are stars passing by. To our right, To our left, Low and high. "Dear, this is wonderful, I love space!" "I know," you say. "It's an amazing place." I hold your hands, This dream has been so fine. I lean towards you, And feel your lips press up against mine. As I open my eyes, I'm back in my bed. And missing you, Well, That's back in my head.

The walls are built too high Expecting me not to climb But wherever the water flows By instinct I go To be with my own kind Why is it I favour fish than people And the sea more than the shore Am I the only one who feels this way For a moment, I want something more The breeze in my hair is cold Compared to the warmth from the sea The waves feel more welcoming Than the people who surround me I take pieces of the sea home And collect my hidden treasures For if I could, I would Live my life in my guilty pleasure Because how can a home of many Not be a home for me Why live in fear and caution Dear mother, when I could be happy?

For a Melody
For her to find true love She trade her voice for a feet Thought she's going to walk the aisle with the prince She got rejected, he marry other instead So she cut his tongue and bring with her To redeem her tails again, She sew her legs with the Prince flesh She swam all the way to her home She may not loved back But she's happy to have him.

The Little Mermaid
As I open the rusted - thumb folded pages of your tales, burdened with grief of your passing and stories that fail. Oceans' might is the witness of your altruism , you've bent sky and straighten tentacles beyond reasons. Known you since you were a mermaid and little, until the curse turned you into black-ink celestial. Holding kings pride; leaving Kingdom and passing Eric's heart to Ariel, crowing yourself as the villain despite being the ocean's pearl. Land only remembers the voice you burgled from Red, Diluted in water; Fight for Triton's Life - a battle unsaid; Lost father’s acceptance, Eric's love, and Vanessa's legs to run - A cruse from Triton only Eric's kiss could have undone. Oh Ursula, you forgot, Magic comes with a price, you lost your tail and the throne for your sacrifice. You raised him from dead, got him life, destroying yours and the mirror's sight. I wish I was there to rewrite it differently but, I am only a freckle in someone’s imagination’s epiphany.

Tale of tails
Gone are the tails, the shimmering whales, gone are the watery sheens, absent are mermaids and absent, her trade, told 'neath the blue and green sea, quiet are sea maps and quiet are ***** that conduct and yell and keep time, silenced are wet niches and silenced are witches that spellbind within the dark brine. But on songs will twirl in the soul of the girl that coils the gold strands together, and beat the drums will with a pulse in the still that holds in our young hearts forever.

Cast Away
***Stumbling on her new feet A regular fish out of water Wanting her brain and heart to meet The former to talk some sense to the latter Wistful for the melancholy seas Nostalgic for those left behind It is on land where uncertainty breaks free A plaintive wail for those of her kind Foreign land stretching afar On pale limbs she has yet to adopt How crashingly desolate will it be to explore To make use of this magic she has yet to exploit A wriggle of her toes Jaw clenched in determination She stands by the decision she chose To search for the source of her affection He's out there, she'll find him No matter the stakes She'll stand on her two feet And wait as long as it takes***

New Feet
The little mermaid Is an incredible princess. Her skin is immaculate, Her hair is flowing perfection, And she can sing- I'm jealous. Like the mermaid on the Starbucks logo, She's perfectly symmetrical. And I know, I know, She's not really a mermaid, But a siren. Much like Ariel Who is a human on land But a fish in the water. I am jealous. I'm a fish out of water.

The Little Mermaid
"In sadder stories, they say,        we were never meant to be. You see, I only knew you by your voice: it's unexpected lilt,  the promise of life, the murmur of the sea. Your mouth formed half-crescents and little 'O's, as if the vowels were bubbles being blown. Or at least that's what I imagined. The sea had gotten at my eyes, my mouth. I couldn't see or speak. The same cruel sea that had ravaged me,  spat me out and then  taken you away from me. But I remembered your voice. It was like my soul was a lute, your voice plucking out notes of love. Notes of love that reverberated in my ears and in the hollow space of my heart that had never before felt anything so sweet. I remember."
