Salty Sea

by Kelly Wright - Aries



A mermaid sat
perched up high
watching ships and sailors
slowly passing her by.

She longed to swim
cast one in fist
intoxicate him with ocean
fog and mist.

She knew of her fate
full of salty tears
holding the waves
folding like years

Sailors were bound
living on land
concrete dreams
instead of sand.

So she spent time
in a silent cry
watching life slip
away in a sigh.

Even in still breath
to the rock she clings
bare with the sea
in all the emptiness it brings.

 

Reason for writing:

    
Blah...
