![]() Saved By a MermaidA Poem by Bo LanierWell I was going down for the third time In the deep blue sea after our ship caught Fire mysteriously then I felt a hand taking Mine and a voice saying everything's gonna Be ok, everything’s gonna be fine, I heard your S.o.s and cries of distress, lucky for you I Just happened to be in the neighborhood Man in gold dangling things and white, Man with eyes as dark as the night... No you are not dreaming, I am for real I am what you humans and sailors call a Mythical sirens but look at me and tell me Do I resemble some stupid sea lion, dolphin Or seal, I don't think so, get real... Soon tho you will wake up on the nearest Distant shore, you’ll think it was just all a dream From the bump on your head and from loosing Consciousness but I guess that's for the best, The best for both of us... For they'll think you've lost your marbles and Call you a mad man and I'm not allowed or supposed To interfere with the fate of humans you understand But hence from this day forward every time you close Your eyes I'll be there, you will remember the feel Of my soft silky skin and the taste of my forbidden fruits You will recall the ecstasy you knew in the deepest Depths and all the magic that was there all around you Everywhere… Who knows maybe someday we'll meet again, if or when You ever return to the sea and maybe the next time I'll take you to my water world to forever live with me Until then just keep our little secret and keep on Believing, keep on believing in me... One more kiss before I leave and return back to the sea Just remember this day, always... The day your imperial ship sank, you were saved... SAVED BY A MERMAID! © 2015 Bo Lanier |
