She.Alba

Beautiful Siren from a distant sea Doctor Donovan wrote of their Mastery Aquatic, seduction enchants me… Merman disguised the Light in his eyes Sang the songs that a heart finds nice Extending a hand he unraveled his web And my sister was there after her death “Wana ride?” was the question he mimed And I, tempted by his suggestive rhyme Never hesitated, to enter his mind. Past the coffee stained collar, I climbed. Tracing races and faces in the wind One thousand and One nights I’d spend Immortal and naked on the ocean Towers of power in the robes of men Lighting the coast to see sailors home Nixie was the name my mother mentioned And Trixie was the dame ...who bore little attention The Merrow of the story, is in me. .... The Scotch is vertical, and I’m a She.Alba…. Merlin, can you see the sight in my eYes?
