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