Some things are just not meant to be.
A mermaid’s curse is to fall in love
not with a merman but one from land above
Obvious dangers and perils do abound
when that love is thrown and played around
So in accordance with the timeless fairy tales
here is a story of a maiden with fins and scales
Of whom with her feelings for a handsome pirate
Thus saw her beloved on the ocean’s climate
where two marauding ships firing at each other
Each cannonball trying to sink one another
with the battle, many a pirate died that day
Either from debris, swords or bullets astray
and so after the carnage and cannons fired
many a pirate and sailors’ life thus retired
but for this buccaneer so brave and gallant
living for her is the fate he so warrants
He fought the waves and the icy water
until a little island to his care did cater
with a cave and fruit trees he made abode
sheltered from elements of hot and cold
but collapsing on the water before the beach
he was confused on how land he did reach
It was then that a melody hummed behind a rock
And with his alert senses he did make track
For a naked lady singing him a soothing tune
of how she pulled him ashore beneath the moon
Telling him now not to be surprised
Seeing him taken aback at what he realized
That from waist below a shimmering tail swished
But her face and the upper body was everyman’s wish
The beauty captivated him so but still wary
that this appearance, deception she may carry
But the physical loveliness and the gratitude
Forced him on his knees and vowed servitude
And then they felt a spark in this sandy land
That’s when they found each other’s hand
And then they found each other’s eyes
That’s when they shared each other’s sighs
And then lips mingled in a fiery blaze
That’s when the island is wrapped in a mystic haze
Preventing a vision of what happened next
Except for the sounds of lovers having sex
And so they carried on for days to weeks
And the life of the city the buccaneer did seek
when a ship on the horizon one day did peek
and seem to come nearer and nearer really quick
AWWW Lovely, so very romantic and so very sad that they can’t be together. Ruther, you must write a second part where they both have legs or they both have tails. Give me a happy ending, please.
