The Mermaid

A poem I wrote after the thoughts and imagery kept coming back during my drive home after work. It's a little dark, but it was a joy to write.

The Mermaid

Down in the depths

swirling through the currents

dancing with the water life.

Her eyes sharp,

her voice ready,

looking up for the tell-tale shadow.

Where is her sailor?

to end her pain

Terribly lonesome,

her heart wrecked with desire.

Her arms long for the warmth of a man.

Too bad they go cold so quickly.
