From the depths she called home,
the scaled-she ascended her realm.
She saw blood, bones and skin;
fell in love, forgetting he is without fins.
He loved her not and of air he'll stay.
She whispered in an almost mournful way

"I'll make the way you drown beautiful"
JSL Nov 2014
I loved you through skins and into your within,
how dare you shame me for my proudly presented fins?
I will burn you, I will drown you, I will breed pain in your bones.
To condemn your inner core and send you to stones.
For this hurt I'll return worst, you tempted my thirst;

I am your curse.
Clare Innard Jul 25
Beckoning me down to the shore
He taciturnly touched my heart as cupid to the very core
Where seagulls do swoop down and land
We make indents into the sizzling sun-drenched sand
But our footprints are stolen by the tide
To a child, I am not magically mentioned in the sand as a merwoman, for my burly legs strongly stretch and burrow wide
Seashells, seashells, the gust of wind does sway you
Barren landscape, bare skin, the sea washes away my name
So that I can with gaiety start a new chapter; a new game
But his heart may wander away as he too glances with adventure across the blissful bay
For sea shore summer lust, lacklustre may not be here to stay

— The End —
