Jerry T Curtis Poet Rhyme

My Mermaid

A friend of mine, asked me to sculpt a 40'' high mermaid, 
for her home. When she sent me a description of what 
She should look like, I first wrote this.


To the lady of the Sea

I come at night to hear her sing

There is nothing I can hide

She seems to know most everything


Can she see into my soul

And feel the feelings dwelling there

When she takes me by my hand

And I touch her sparkling hair


With lips so soft and wet

And eyes of sea foam green

Is she love from high above 

Or a temping evil fiend


She leads me from a rocky shoal 

As we slip beneath the waves

It'st true,  that I will never know

I gave life, to be her slave.

Sharon Gulley June 4, 2014 at 8:31 PM I like this too. I find it hard not to like anything you write, especially because you seem to most often mention my favorite color green. Sharon Gulley June 4, 2014 at 8:32 PM They call me the greenbutterfly
