In the deep silence of the night when perplexity 
Confuses the mind, I feel your power descend upon me,
Surrender becomes inevitable
As I become malleable under the hammer of love.
 
I view you, approach mid sea, alone, resplendent
In the pale rays of the dazzling moonlight,
As if you were an enigmatic ghost drawing near
In a flimsy wisp of a whirling nightly mist,
Treading the waves, splashing your body with vigour.
 
Come closer, come, I'm not afraid,
Sing an echoing mermaid song for me,
Or slide into an enticing dance of love.
I thrive upon such inexplicable endeavours,
Where nocturnal elfin whispers and dreamy antics,
So pleasing to the sensuousness of the mind,
Combine to please the florid sensitive nerves
Of this old, tired and jaded mind.

Hi Victor, I echo what Tom said, you have a such good imagination. You described your encounter so well. It was as though you were face-to-face with a beautiful mermaid. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for penning such a write. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

There is such an aura of mystery and romance about them - they appeal to the sensuous part of man's thinking and goodness knows, if an alien visiting earth would jump into the ocean to follow her, what a headline that would make in tomorrows news! Loved this poem. Hugs blessings, Jennifer.

How can such fantastic fancies and lines of verse come from 'an old, tired and jaded mind' ? It is impossible, dear Victor.
