Rice In the Ocean

I dreamt that I went swimming, 
Into the deep blue sea 
And from nowhere appeared a mermaid, 
That had swum right next to me
The next thing I remembered, 
She had pulled me underneath,
Into a cave, where it was dark, 
Well below the coral reef
She had opened up my vest, 
And she dropped a pearl inside 
And then she said, "Hop on my tail... 
You're going for a ride."
She had taken me to a shipwreck, 
On the ocean's floor
And she wanted me to go with her, 
As she pointed to a door 
So, then we swam inside the door, 
And she guided me to some jewels 
That long ago, were thrown overboard, 
By some drunken pirate fools 
She then pointed to the pearl, 
That she had stuck inside my vest
And wanted me to take it out, 
And return it with the rest
As soon as I returned the pearl,
The mermaid lost her tail 
Then just like that, she walked the aisle with me, 
And she was wearing a white veil
The next night when I had fallen asleep, 
I was as happy as can be
Because I dreamt about that mermaid; again 
And this time...she had married "Me"

This poem made me want a hug. Mermaids are so imaginative, romantic and mysterious in your poem. Your mermaid so filled with kindness. Lovely poem. I just enjoyed it so much, it paints such a beautiful picture. You're so lucky to have each other. Sweet dreams.
