THE MERMAID


THE MERMAID

On a
Rock 
She sat,
Watching
The waves
Crash.

The sea
Sprayed
Her skin
With
Kisses
While the
Wind
Sang her
A lullaby.

The sun
Lit up
Her eyes
As she
Breathed
In
The world!

A seagul
Brought
Her word
Of the love
She awaited...

Her beloved
Was 
Close
To reaching
Her.

To the 
Waves
She said 
Oh bring
Him
Quick to
Me,
That I might
Love
Him
For  long whiles!

What she
Did not
Realize
Was that
He was
No merman
Only a human...

Silly mermaid
Waited
In vain
For the
One
Who never
Came!
