I see you now
In the deep blue sea
A mermaid now
Like you wanted to be
~~~
All day long
You watch the ships
Come to shore
Admiring the sailors
From your oceanous floor
~~~
Your skin so beautiful
Long flowing hair
With a magical smile
No sailor could bear
~~~
Your smile capture's
Their heart
Your beauty capture's
Their soul
Before they know it
Your've encased them whole
~~~
Trapped beneath the ocean
For millions of years
Encased in the circle
Of your life's tears
~~~
You are happy
Enjoying the love
Of the sea
As for the sailors
They are no longer free
~~~
So the day they scattered you
Over the ocean blue
A mermaid you became
Your soul to renew
~~~
Your life on earth
A tough one
Too much to bear
Mistakes made
A life unfair
~~~
So the sailors
Of the sea
Pay a price
For meeting the
Mermaid so blue
For she is a nymth
Weaving a spell
So true
~~~
Her spell will cast
them
To the oceanous floor
Where they stay
For all time
Encased in her life's
Tears endured
~~~



Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe

So scatter me ashes among the sea so I may too kiss this mermaid.  You have penned a beauty and one that will last forever in the hearts of lovers and dreamers alike.  In my library under the heading of Mesmerizing Myths of Memorable Moments!!!

Thankyou my dear friends for reading this poem it has in alot of ways some sad memories for me as this is a story about the most beautiful woman in the world you would ever meet, she died at the age of 29 of an accidental herion overdose and she was a lover of the sea, her ashes were scattered nearbye over the ocean and I could just see her as a mermaid with her long flowing black hair and her love of the sea and her beauty in real life was one that captured every mans attention even unfortunately some who took advantage of her and in some way ultimately led to her death at such a young age.
So thanks to all for reading and enjoying
Love
Tracie~
