The Siren Song | ✔

viii

A creature of the sea
Ethereal and mystical
A creation of fantasy
Right in the vicinity of her vision,

Hair as golden as the sun
Tail red like the coral
Eyes as blue
As the waters' hue,

But no whites,

The manifestation of a child's wish
A half human half fish,
The maiden of the sea.

The scales on her tail
Glistening
Shining
Glowing

She wondered what her fingers may experience
When in contact with the skin

Will it be rough
Or sharp
Or akin
To those of a fish
Rubbery

Her hair looked like it flowed
As a cloud above her head
Will she be able to grasp?

She curiously gazed inside her eyes
A nebula of stars and planets
Holding secrets to the universe's demise.
