For the love of a Mermaid

For the love of a mermaid
He crushed her expectations
And sweet anticipation
and broke her fragile heart
He denied their connection
ripped her soul asunder
his love dragged her under
stuck in the muck
of a still life, stagnant
and closing in on
precious breath
he, captivated by
undersea enchantress
she,sucking the life out
of his mortal lover’s soul
drowning in her siren song
and swimming in her eyes
as light fades to nothing-
left of another silly girl
whose youth she wears
over ancient crone
paper-thin blue skin
shifting into beauty
He is bewitched and may
Never realize the switch
Her eyes tell dark lies
Her mouth, pink coral
bruising his blue-cold lips
he gasps for air as he
holds onto her delicate body
blue shimmers beneath
eyes closed, no need to see
sensations and emoceans
tingle, tickle, tantalize
gentle kisses she
breathes ocean life in
air no longer needed
a watery embrace
swift dance
vow never to leave
desire to always be filled
satiated by ocean soul
for the love a mermaid…
forever entranced.
