The Mer-Girl And She
She wanders to the water
Tears almost pouring down her cheeks
Down into the water
She dreams
Yearning
For the ability
To finally breathe
Wishing for
The calming
Soothing
Sounds of the waves
To swallow her
Yearning
For the blanket
Of water to cover her
As she strips down dropping
Her clothes to the ground
She leans over the edge
And sees
Her reflection
And another's
Not quite human
Staring up at her
With turquoise skin
And sea-green eyes
Smiling pleasantly
The girl dips her hand
Into the Lagoon below
And the mysterious girl
From the blue
Lifts her hand up too
Wrapping her fingers around
The girls wrist
Whispering
In a voice
Oh so mesmerizing
"Come join me my dear
In this
Beautiful Lagoon
For your eyes
Are full of pain
And so beautifully blue"
And
The human girl whispered
Oh So Soft
"Okay"
And gently
Let the Mer-Girl
Pulled her into the deep
There she could breathe
Her worrisome life
Left up top
Her new life
Began
In that watery blue
She smiled too
No longer needing to cry
Or fake a smile to get by
And the Mer-Girl so dear
Wrapped her arms
Around the human
Whispering
"Stay with me
And you will see
The world in a different way
Taste my lips
With the Forbidden kiss
And together we will be trapped
In an underwater world"
"In which pain ceases to exist
A world of love
And Bliss
Where happiness is a deep Abyss
And joy is a must"
"Join us my dear
For we were once like you
Lost
And
Sad"
"Secretly Wanting
The Pain to End
And sleep to begin
Now
We are free
"Just a kiss
And you will see
How happy
You are truly
Meant to be"
And as she spoke
The human girl
Listened intently
Thinking
"What do I have to lose
Heavenly this sounds
Hopeful I feel "
And as she thought
The Mer-Girl hoped
She would say yes
And place a kiss
Upon her lips
Also worried she was too
For the human
Had to pass a test
In which she couldn't stay
Or explain
In any way
While the human
Still lost in thought
The lovely Mer-Girl
Released a tear
Turning into a lovely
Sphere
That floated to her
Clear
And beautiful
Was it
The human
Looked in shock
And the Mer-Girl
Placed it into her hand
Kissing it
The Mer-Girl
Gazed
into the humans eyes
And she saw
The human did
Want to try
And survive
In this beautiful
Abyss
So the human
Leaned towards
The Mer-Girl
And gently
Their lips touched
The Mer-Girl
Clasped the humans hand
Causing the
Sphere of a tear
To snap
In half
Leaking
And with a gasp
The human
Stiffened
And sucked in a breath
And the Mer-Girl
Saw
Her skin turn a beautiful blue
And her eyes shifted
To turquoise
Her ears
Became pointed
Her limbs
Flowing
And long
Till the legs fused together
And the human now belonged.
Skin bare
Yet feeling free
She swam around
Her Mer Girl
So sweet
Locking hands
And pressing lips together
Yet again
Sparks surrounded them
And the underwater Abyss grew
Happiness
Was what the once-human girl felt
Love bloomed
In her chest
And her Mer Girl
Whispered her name through her beautiful lips
"I am Sirena"
"And I am Angelica" the once human girl said
"Angel" Sirena said
"Is what you are here
And forever
We will stay"
"You and me
Day upon day
Night upon night"
"Happiness to follow us
Wherever we go"
"Welcome to your heaven
Angel Dear.
I cannot wait
To spend forever here"
And with the waves
They danced
Smiling
And laughing
Caressing
And kissing
An Angel had found her Siren
And a Siren her Angel
With whispered words
They spread their love
And forever
Stays
Humming
Lovely tunes
Laughter Heavenly
Touches
No longer forbidden
But loved
And together they stay
Dancing away
Singing everyday
Fingers intertwined
Two Mer-Folk
One with eyes of turquoise
The others
Seaweed green
Causing the beautiful
Colors in the Lagoon
Day after day
Flowers bloom around them
Up on the surface the flowers stay
But Sirena knew
Angelica gave up her life
In that gorgeous lagoon
Just as she did
Years ago
Waiting for love so true
And finally
They are at peace
Because sometimes
An ending
Is just a beginning
A chance to start new
And be happy
Through and through
So there they dance
As more broken girls come
Starting fresh
In that lagoon
Of forever peace
Heaven
Is what they call it
And happiness
Is what they find
So come with me
To this lagoon
Let you and I start anew...
