The Mermaid

 

our souls entwine

locked together in eternal delight

like the viper and the vine

of moments that stretch time...

 

i believed you mermaid

and even through the waves

i heard your siren call

from the stars i did fall

 

oh that i may drown and become a rock

for you to sit on and sing on and on

your enchanted words for other ears

who unlike me have no fears

 

the night gets darker

and the waters cold

though i see the warmth of your light

i feel  the clammy fingers of fright!
