Mermaid On A Rock


Soft pale skin. Seashell tops & a scaly tail with a fin. Listen to her enchanting singing. Attracting people with attention it's bringing. Awoke on shore in the sand. Stood up & walked hand in hand. A strange island on this land. Appears an angelic face. A figure with grace. To display & showcase. Can't remember how we got to this place. Sunrise across the ocean. A plan sets in motion. My expression shows no emotion. My feelings frozen. Swam atop a majestic rock. My boat no longer at dock. Seagulls soar & form a flock. Underneath the water treasures are locked. No perception of time is forged. My secret desires dismissed & ignored.
