Mermaid
Brian
stepped out for
some air.
He saw some chick in
the pool with large fish
fins instead of legs.
Brian
turned and yelled
"HEY, GUYS?!"
stepped out for
some air.
He saw some chick in
the pool with large fish
fins instead of legs.
Brian
turned and yelled
"HEY, GUYS?!"

A Saelkie Tale
Drifting out on wind and wave
From the saltine sea to the darkest deep
I saw her rise from an angel grave
Emerged from the deepest Saelkie sleep
When her seal skin shed on the sandy floor
Twas a fiery auburn maiden freed
Her heart was unlocked through an open door
And bound in matrimonial deed
He sought to steal her oily skin
Transforming her to human kind
Then fire and prophecy within
Saw marriage forced by legend’s bind
With her spirit trapped, she could not flee
Away from Celtic mountain lands
Nor...
From the saltine sea to the darkest deep
I saw her rise from an angel grave
Emerged from the deepest Saelkie sleep
When her seal skin shed on the sandy floor
Twas a fiery auburn maiden freed
Her heart was unlocked through an open door
And bound in matrimonial deed
He sought to steal her oily skin
Transforming her to human kind
Then fire and prophecy within
Saw marriage forced by legend’s bind
With her spirit trapped, she could not flee
Away from Celtic mountain lands
Nor...

Aquamarine Kingdom!!
Shackled and in chains ⛓!!
Underwater with restraints!!
Like, lost spirits and deities, the fallen one's who remain trapped under the Euphrate's!!
A river of sin, since the beginning of this marine kingdom, bound and seldomly found, free to Rome the Abyss!!
With all the sharks and all the creatures out of the depths of darkness!!
Of this deep blue sea, when washed ashore with all it's vapors and mist, magically it appears!!
This aquamarine kingdom, out the blue, like 👍 💙 a mystical myth!!

Song Of A Sea Siren
Can you hear her calling you, an old voice on the wind,
Listen to the haunting tones speaking of places you have been.
Whispering loudly, stretching out to you, from across the sea,
An ancient voice that will sing softly of your history.
Singing of your loneliness, your hunger and your pain.
Crying to you, 'Come unto me, in your heart I will remain.’
You feel the ribbons pulling you into her sheltering arms,
Knowing there is comfort you, in her beauty and her charms.
You see her face upon the winds and in the pouring rain,
You hear her...
Listen to the haunting tones speaking of places you have been.
Whispering loudly, stretching out to you, from across the sea,
An ancient voice that will sing softly of your history.
Singing of your loneliness, your hunger and your pain.
Crying to you, 'Come unto me, in your heart I will remain.’
You feel the ribbons pulling you into her sheltering arms,
Knowing there is comfort you, in her beauty and her charms.
You see her face upon the winds and in the pouring rain,
You hear her...

A Mermaid’s Diary (A short collection of haikus)
Forbidden in tide,
Swam your Pacific again
The sea died tonight.
Sirens croon your vow
Shells warble you, last decade,
brooks guide me afresh.
Dampened memory,
Breathing oxygen to me
I've bubbled in your eyes.
Scintillated howl,
Caterwauls filling your void,
Blind me in this eve.
Misted coins you left,
Stabbed beneath the crescent pearl,
Wink in failed yearning.
Swam your Pacific again
The sea died tonight.
Sirens croon your vow
Shells warble you, last decade,
brooks guide me afresh.
Dampened memory,
Breathing oxygen to me
I've bubbled in your eyes.
Scintillated howl,
Caterwauls filling your void,
Blind me in this eve.
Misted coins you left,
Stabbed beneath the crescent pearl,
Wink in failed yearning.

Mermaid hair
I dyed my hair today.
Just the bottom six inches or so
of my hip-length, reddish-brown
crowning glory.
It's a guilty pleasure
that I only discovered in my 40s.
The pleasure part is simple:
I have red, purple, blue and turquoise
giving an overall effect of mermaid.
It makes me happy
because who doesn't feel brighter
when they're a little bit Mermaid?
The guilty part is a secret:
the reason I dyed it today
is because it's slightly rebellious
and for the first time ever,...

55 {Midnight Mermaids}
All day I hear
a gaspy drip drop
salty water on the face of a clock
sloppy images at the edge of a pier
desperate mermaids
licking at my feet
and biting my ankles
beautiful lipped manacles
from all my suckling raw
the ocean's cold teat
a gaspy drip drop
salty water on the face of a clock
sloppy images at the edge of a pier
desperate mermaids
licking at my feet
and biting my ankles
beautiful lipped manacles
from all my suckling raw
the ocean's cold teat

Tea Time
Alice went for a walk
and she'll be right back.
She will bring rabbit to
dinner and if she can't
even a cat will do...

Rum Ocean
rum ocean
still
no emotion
soon
heaving and throwing
up on the waves of life
empty bottle or ship?
sailing or floating?
drinking all the waters in
until completely dry
an open wasteland
where all the sea creatures die
........memories
of a harpooned mind................

The Chosen One
For you I’m the chosen one, the Unforgotten one.
Once I lay my eyes on you, your spiritual revolution has already begun.
Once in the back of your mind as I study you from afar, now i’m at the forefront.
Challenging every one of your limiting beliefs, my existence stuns.
Just when you swim above water, that’s when I’m far from done.
I’m a siren, pulling you deeper and deeper into your own emotions as we go
From your island, revealing darker truths as you have no choice but to go with the oceanic flow.
You...

Winter in rain
Fills pen with pain.
