A Mermaid's Plea

Once, a boy came, new to the coast

tall figure, his skin supple dusted with white,

he was silent at times, quite

sometimes laughing like a child,

vulnerable yet strong, she sees.

 

The mermaid was in awe, but she didn’t realize,

a crashing wave, that’s what he is.

Day by day, she drowned herself

In thoughts under her ocean dream;

baffled by his presence, in doubt she continued.

 

On the third tide of their apogee,

without warning the boy vanished,

like a wind, leaving no trace, not a foam.

Devastated, in losing her one precious pearl,

the mermaid cried in remorse.

 

Every night she sang to the skies,

until she felt an ethereal glow,

deep down she knew

what was needed to be said.

A celestial granted, for once again they met.

In valor with trembling hands, a note she had professed.

Prospective and believing still

the prince she had wished for, 

turned out to be nothing but a loving sin.

The mermaid smiled as she disappeared into the sea

with every song now comes a broken, and shattered dream.

A poem about love gone wrong but by centering it around a mermaid so to say it brings a uniqueness layer to it. I really enjoyed reading this. I am incredibly fond of the line "a crashing wave, that’s what he is/Day by day, she drowned herself" So many people, girls, boys, men and woman have been in this situation. A heartbreaking, yet wonderful poem. Well done!

Loved they way you expressed the feelings of the Mermaid. The last line has a great impact "with every song now comes a broken, and shattered dream."
