Mermaid

MERMAID Ocean girl I feel you riding on the waves at night, flashing in a brilliant spray of mist and lunar light. From the deep you've gathered sea shells in your lily hand tossed them to the moon like dreams no one can understand. Have you been someone I've known? I guess I'm part of you. Ocean girl, I'd love you still, but don't know what I'd do. Living in the dream you are, and riding on the sea, through coral reefs and shipwrecked souls for our eternity. Crystal blues and yellow hues from off the ocean floor beckon to the wandering I've always hungered for. If I loved you once again, as I've done in the past, would it be a dream sureal but one to never last? Ocean girl, don't tell me now, I'll never want to know, where it is you're coming from, or where we have to go, take my hand and dive into uncharted ocean's fate, and as for what I am right now, it will have to wait. © ron wilson aka vee bdosa the doylestown poet
