Her songs lull the unruly seas
luring sailors her emerald eyes
tease
skeptics say, "she is an illusion of the
night"
in the darkness, imaginations take
flight
sailors claim to have heard her
serenades
in the morning sunrise, her melody
fades
drifting closer to the lush
green shoreline
mysteries of the sea wave from behind
written for dVerse
exploring songs of mermaids
Thank you for visiting
songs and the sea....

ReplyDeleteWell done! The lore of the unknown always seems to draw us... sometimes not so much for our good!

ReplyDeleteOh, I love that fading melody, especially. I can hear those last notes, fading out like memory itself.
ReplyDeleteContemplating - not sure if I picture her as being sinister or comforting
