You'Re Mine

Guilty I voiced my plea Whilst the fishies looked at me There he stood-pleased and grinning; Disregard of what was sinning Guilty I yelled again; Affirmation for the man My heart you stole for I stole yours; Exchange of hearts with distant shores… The tide rolled in and very fast Whilst he raised a hollow mast. The water must be warm I thought For the human love he brought. Sand it stuck between my toes, The waves rolled in; rows and rows There he waved with rugged hand Tempting me from mothers’ land Dropped my clothes to spiralled shells In the distance I heard bells. Should I go? Should I stay? Perhaps I’ll wait another day. He yelled something, He yelled “You’re Mine” Then he threw a fishing line Creative clouds made some shade On his hook was a mermaid! Her hair it tangled in the catch Upon my skin a nervous rash Guilty I yelled once more Mermaid looked upon the shore… Turned to you and broke your line Kissed your lips for some time The two of them went back to sea With disregard of little me Hence here I cry and here I pout When tide rolls in and tide rolls out Fishies swim, pirates sail Grasping tight a piece of shale. ... Looked at you upon the sand Sea salting a rugged hand You warned me of the surly squid; Guilty for the things I did Though love I tried to call her near… Then ripples came without my dear Guilty you called me so Went very still the ocean flow Hence now I cry as there I moped; Yes the mermaid I eloped As she left me she said she must This wasn’t love but only lust. When tide rolled in and tide rolled out In the distance I heard you shout Guilty yes I lost the game Guilty is my middle name For love we should not play along For ocean rips and can be strong Blinded by a sea of love Seagulls witness from above The sharks they spiral to feed on me Out upon the wretched sea Lost I was, lost my courses, Followed back a few sea horses. All for just a little fun; My love for you- it came undone My crown it fell with mere seaweed Though now I know what I need I’m gonna swim, I’m gonna jump In my throat a little lump I’ll make it- I assure you so Stay right there and please don’t go. ———— In the ocean; in the sea I saw him swimming back to me Dolphins clapped, whales sprayed Suddenly I weren’t betrayed… Until that mermaid reappeared I tell you what- she was so weird She looked at me, she looked at you Payback now was overdue My boomerang I clenched so tight Threw it hard, went out of sight From out of nowhere it hit his head Oh my love he maybe dead ! Quickly put bikinis on Swum so fast to find my hon She had him in her arms; my fulla So I hit her with my nulla nulla… Hit her twice, thrice and more Til she floated back to shore Under the sand-she rests right there All because he did not care You went astray and lost my trust All for some mermaid bust Hence here I watch with an eagles eye Even when the time does fly. For guilty you will always be You stole my heart and you hurt me Guilty Guilty You are my fulla Clutching tight my nulla nulla So mermaids gone and lust and passion For love does rule and still in fashion To each other voice til the end of time- Oh my love You’re Mine ! You’re mine !!
