The Mermaid
The mermaid rests on a ring of rocks,
Sunlight glancing off her serpentine scales,
A shimmering rainbow of color
In the distance, a woman walks alone,
Drifting along the golden shore
Long hair flowing in the breeze
Like a charcoal flag,
Caressing sun-kissed skin
With gentle breaths
Forlorn expression,
Aqua eyes ringed in shades of red
From too many tears shed
The beautiful mermaid watches
Her lone love continue on,
And how she longs to be the one
The one to replace that frown
With a shining smile
The one to make those eyes sparkle
From joy rather than sadness
The one to be by her side,
Entwined for an eternity
But, as much as the mermaid wishes,
Her dream will never come true
For the two will always be separated
By the land and sea,
Respectively chained to each
Blue
it's the feeling when the last chords of your favourite song ends,
when the room is perfectly quiet
and perfectly still.
it’s his eyes at midnight
when the only light is from the streetlight above you
and your heart pounding in your chest,
because he’s promising you forever
it’s the beach at noon
when the sea and sky blend into one
and the horizon stretches into your soul.
it's the tears when you lose him.
and the skies when you find yourself.
its the opening chords of dawn
and the final chorus of dusk.
