(This is the first in a series of mermaid poems! Ever since I was a little boy, I have fallen in love with mermaids, which brings me great pleasure to bring you these visions of mermaids and love to you!   )

Mermaids Wish
By: Noah Eaton
1/26/02

Up high on the rocks just peaking over the sapphire sea
A lonely mermaid cries out for her soulmate
Her siren screams clash with the tidepull’s timpani
With the geisha winds, her passionate cry migrates

She longs to be swept away inadvertently
To again bring life and color to her deserted coral reef
Loves first kiss destined to be her hearts destiny
Bringing sparks of ecstacy to all her fleeting dreams

Her naked body grows bright in the radiance of the moon
Her gorgeous kaleidoscope fins sparkle the oceans aurora
She clasps her hands together, praying before her Muse
“May my manly love sail to me upon this starry peninsula!”

Her brother dolphin snugs up close to her as she cries
Hugging her close, knowing that her dreams she seeks will be hers
Rising to the moon, this lovely mermaid sadly sighs
Yearning for her seafaring lover to lay her dreams anchor…

As a child, I, too, was fascinated by mermaids intermixed with mortal man. You brought her story of longing to life well with your usual flair of exuberant and charming words...I look forward to the series

Take care,
