Jemmy Farmer Poet Sonnet

The Mermaid's Kiss

I stared into the depths of bluest sea,
Into the eyes of beauty’s sweetest pearl,
And fell in love as she hypnotised me.
Beneath the waves her gold locks heave and swirl,
The flowing of her hair entranced my mind,
A sailor lost to a beautiful girl.
Her sirenic song told of love to find,
The music carried passion’s tidal surge,
How could I know her love was the worst kind?
Within her kiss I felt my soul diverge,
And dragged me down so I can ne’er be free,
My lifeless body left for seas to purge.
I stared into the depth of bluest sea,
And fell in love as she hypnotised me.
