The Silent Serene Siren

now at Goat Ledge cafe, drinking tea  
glancing over at the shimmering sea  
i espy a mermaid, as she pirouettes under a cloudy sky  
her scales are wet, yet her eyes are dry  

she smiles at me  
her beautiful eyes, glance into my soul  
her depth has no boundaries  
and her heart is whole  

the waves cascade and crash against the withering sand  
the clouds are circling, and ready to land  
the wind picks up, and parts my thighs  
and i smile at the mermaid, with my silent sighs
