Tale of a Mermaid

Tale of a Mermaid

Free Verse Form

"
Along with the rising of the sun
Sea and sky hand in hand in blue
Creating a faint line of illusion,
A boundaries of the real and unreal.
There was a mermaid dancing with the waves
Her long golden hair magically shiny,
A true flawless unnatural beauty.

She waited for the lonely souls;
Who doze in the dream of eternal love
Who needs to be saved from nothingness
Souls who stray in search of peace.
Since the era of the gods, she has lived,
And so her story will continue to live.
In the dreams of every sailor.

her eyes and the sailor's eyes meet. they talk for hours on the sea. he thinks he's in love. then suddenly she lunges, for it was suppertime, and the sailor was her dinner. And tomorrow she shall seduce, another sailor for a meal.
