Could it be

For my next of kin.

Could it be that you are a mermaid departed of the sea?
With books and brella
bronzed skin by golden ray
with your meandering thoughts
somehow you lay dismissed by scrutiny
like mermaids dreaming with sandy fin.
 
Could it be you are a Pegasus of my memory?
youthful as you've ever been.
too the mountain lily
from the stars heart
you've mastered the art of flight
without stopping laughing crying or growing!

Could it be that to me a Bullfrog you are?
With long steady stare
though you are not in despair
clutching toys like tongues on coins
to dragons with wings  and lions that sing
You'll laugh it off and smile for
we are merely emotional things, no allure?

Could it Be that a Super Me you are?
challenge me?, Pay up you say
questions and games
are your toll tax  
the mirror reflection of your four eyes
my pupils dilate My pupils dilate
And when I die-late pupils will be all that remains of me...

Author's Note

hope you see what I mean...

That line is thick like honey and warmly sweet. You make very keen observations here, and express your pregnant thoughts with emotional prowess and pretty imagery. The last line is interesting, too. When you dialate pupils will be all that remains. I love the play on words! You are a unique and dreamy craftsman, my friend. I'm loving your work while I'm deep in this somber, emotional place of heart. Your words are delightful and always peacefully complacent in their subtle messages.

This was a journey of amazing fantazy, can't say I've read anything remotely like it!

I have to agree with Justice, very "clever" ending I think. Which means; awesome! Nothin' more than a great ending. You could have a s**t for writing, but the last line I think is what folks remember... This entire writing kept me interested. :) Cheers

Oh my, leaving this for your next of kin, too soon, too early .. but I spose you can sit a while now and again and see the creation you've birthed, be content at the way the letters have been juggled into great phrases,

There's something special, something vast in those lines, memorable they are, and far more living than dead ..
