For hours I've been sitting on this rock
Where you wanted to meet me
In the afternoon hours, and now
The sky is already dressed for soiree
In all shades of orange, red and pink
Where are you, dear, when will you come?
A hundred times I've brushed my hair
A golden wave flowing to my hips
Soft and silken like the
Legendary golden fleece
Longing for your hands' gentle touch
Where are you, dear, when will you come?
I climbed up a steep path to this rock
Hi above the river Rhein
A wonderful viewpoint of the valley ...
Where you wanted to meet me

Soft and silken like the

Longing for your hands' gentle touch
Where are you, dear, when will you come?

Hi above the river Rhein

She At The Abyss
t'was those restless nights..
you remember yes?
remember the silent howling
...that hawkish moon
the tossing..turning
the inner chambers churning..
in sweaty trepidation of
the visitors
...
your panorama of parasites..
here to commune with the dwarfish
incubus clawing beneath
your agitated flesh
...
come my darkened lover..
never mind them
allow me to secret you away
submerge...

I Swear, Guys! I Really Saw A Genuine Mermaid!
Matthew
walked over to
the lake and saw some chick
smiling at him before she turned
and flashed her fish tail before swimming home.

The Mermaid Came Ashore
After swimming in
many rivers, the mermaid
came ashore and walked
naked all over the one
city of San Francisco.

The Runaway Mermaid
As
soon as
she popped her
head out of the
water and saw that
nobody was around,
she quickly swam herself to
the shore and dragged the fish tail part
out of the water before she cried
and said to herself "I will not marry
him! I will not be his slave!" until she
fell asleep on that beach. The next day,
she woke up and found herself in
someone else's bed before the
door opened and a young
blonde stud gently placed
a tray of food
on her lap.
Then, they
kissed.

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?!"

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

Twas a fiery auburn maiden freed
Her heart was unlocked through an open door

He sought to steal her oily skin
Transforming her to human kind
Then fire and prophecy within

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
