~ The Green Nymph of the North Sea (Part 1.)

~ Poetic story about some of my far away past, mixed up with mytology, and fantasy

~ The Green Nymph of the North Sea

 

Shimmer in this deep dark waves

Made her hazy vision clear

If small pearly reflections

Turned her way, like tiny suns

Could shine on dark gray days

 

There was no other light

Just as the light in her self

Which kept her moving

She lived for more than four hundred

Centuries long deep under the Sea 

 

Still there was never one shipper

Or sailor who had found her

Her fate was written in her being

Like others wished her bad, but

As strong as she was, she always smiled

 

Some days she saw other mortals die

As she wondered when it was her time

She knew she was special cursed

Her long hair was in the meantime gray,

But still she had a beautiful young face

And eyes so sharp, she wasn’t blind

 

In the days were she was still mortal

She was an beautiful princess taken by

The Dunkirkers who raped her, and

Where her pregnant healthy body after

They poisoned her and her unborn child

 

Was dumped in the mystical North Sea

But she is still awake in the dark and forgotten

Seabed, where she waits, until the moment

Presents itself, and were she and others victims

Shall dance among the revengeful souls and

Whispering their immortality in their lungs

 

 

So she and her unborn child will be reborn

 

To be continued...

Dreamy and melancholy... Yet this beautiful nymph who's life was spoilt by evil deeds maintains a smile as she waits patiently for her destiny to unfold.

It's very exciting to see you writing
Stories Elisa... And I noticed below that this one will continue. I await the continuation of your tale and very curious if you will continue in this lovely poetic style and this nymphs fate...

As far as mistakes ... Are you going for perfect grammar? You do use were twice, when I think you mean when or where... A few other things I can recommend, but easier when I am at home tonight...

[Antonio Valentino]

:)

Yes, part 2. is already up... but you don't see it so well on my page... ;) latest poetic story... writing more more and more :P

[Alexandria Reece]

This is truly haunting and the music you paired with it is as the perfect wine to go with this full meal of emotional turmoil. I swear though, you've some how embellished this dire tale with golden stitches of peacefulness. Something within you is as deep as this ocean she now dwells in and ancient as her aqueous spirit. My favourite bit was:
"Some days she saw other mortals die
As she wondered when it was her time
She knew she was special cursed
Her long hair was in the meantime gray"... excellence.

Thank you very much Alexandria, you got it perfectly... as always!

[Priscilla Sayers]

Thank you sweet Pris! glad you liked it. Have a wonderful day dear poet! xo

[Priscilla Sayers]

XOXO

The song of nature's past and the reality of communed ancestry reaches from all four corners of the globe on the bases of fact. A fantasy, maybe, but I think a true novel of what has begun in the heart of a beautiful soul... Your soul Elisa.

Thank you so much Arthur for your blissful insight, and wisdom.
Always a pleasure to read your reviews.

[Arthur Henn]

You are very welcome... Keep writing. I believe there is a true heart of a novel here...
