Drowning In Her Tears

(From a Mermaids lament saga)

Oh lady of the deep doth cry
floats in tears of her love
for him;
for her true love just drifts on by
needs the air from above
can’t swim.

Insightful writing my friend. He should invest in scuba gear and enjoy the mermaids company! Solid 7 on this one too.

Our actions and emotions can suffocate those we love and we end up losing them... A great use of metaphors in this deep write. Very nicely penned, Harry!

What a marvelous read from a blessed paged built on lines constructed with the lyrics of the skies and words well supported by dynamic foamy clouds. Message well expressed! No doubt an absolute 7##.
