Love Poem: Wistful Mermaid

Written by: Line Gauthier

Wistful Mermaid

beneath a midnight starry dome
tonight the moon and stars offer no solace
just my luck to fall in love with a human
hopeless dreams ghastly haunt me

as dry land and destiny 
dreadfully keep us apart
i can only love you from afar
this is a no win situation

as your ship travels the high seas
i serenade to keep you safe
but to my core I yearn to seduce you
and bring you forever to my realm
