 The Merman  (1 rating)by Sarah Kendall Twisted locks frame an elfin head, Entwined with pearls from the old sea bed. Slanted eyes glow from a face, Young yet wise, from an ancient race. He gracefully lies upon the shore The warm sun glittering on every pore. Beautiful fish man, spirit of the sea His plaintive song, it beckons to me. I watch him from amongst the dunes As he snares me with his magical tunes In a voice so sweet it summons me To share his world in the cruel dark sea. I cannot think, I cannot speak All I can see is the ocean deep. My body moves along the sand He smiles at me, he takes my hand. His scales are warm, his grasp is firm To ride the waves with him I yearn. He calls me to his cold domain I follow meekly, I feel no pain. He holds me close, he holds me still Beneath the waves where I do feel The water flooding over me Yet I can breathe, yet I can see The finest details in his face I long to share this magical place With the merman, green and pale Who bestowed me with a fishes tail To glide through this submarine land With a watery sky, the earth as sand. Will I ever return to the dry world above? Not while I have my fish tailed love Oh to never hear his song again! A part of me will always remain There below the endless tide With my aquatic friend there by my side.
