Mermaid Dreams

Like stars dancing on the edge of breaking waves,
Pearls shine under the velvet coat’s night.
Your delicate toes touch the warm fading foams,
Receding over the seashell-made shore lines.

Your curled brown hair flies under the current,
Amongst the school of tiny rare rainbow fish,
While you symmetrically dive into the deepest deep,
Painted with shining blue-emerald inks.

You play games of hide and seek,
With silver tipped sharks, rays, turtles and blue jellyfish,
While you symmetrically dive into the deepest deep,
Between bushed flowers of soft pink coral reefs.

Oh sweet, (beloved) mermaid,
It’s getting late… Please,
Come back to the surface
Rest your shimmering scaled tail,
Over the bare hot golden stones,
Of this tropical island’s landscape.

(Have sweet mermaid dreams, my baby!)
