Lost Cove

It was when I was younger
much younger
and dumber
a little dumber
when I came upon the cove
or was it the other way around
did the cove come upon me
I was a crew member
upon a merchant ship
sailing the South China Sea
the storm that night was vicious
and it got the best of me
Its no fun to be washed overboard
upon a stormy sea
taking my last breath
and going under
when a mermaid rescued me
I remember her tail
I remember looking into her face
and then I blacked out and
woke up in this place
The place a cove
in the middle of the sea
my host a fiesty mermaid
that had bravely rescued me.
For weeks that seemed like months
this lovely mermaid pampered me
eagerly providing me with
all that I required
I fell under her spell
she became the one that I desired.
Then one day a mighty ship
arrived from far across the sea
and the Captain sent a boat to pick me up
as they said they were rescuing me
The Captain said there was no island
no cove where he and his crew rescued me
only a few porpoises and a bed made
out of coconuts and me.
