The Mermaid

The evening was cool and the sky was so clear

The ripples of waves were all I could hear

The moon shone bright and the stars twinkled on high

Then out of nowhere came so seductive a sigh

I looked out to sea to whence the sound came

And my eyes believed they were playing a game

For as waves lapped around a rock out at sea

I saw a beautiful vision who was staring at me

Naked as love she sat all alone

On that rising edifice of black granite stone

Her body so wondrous that I shook with lust

But a smile so pure that my thoughts were unjust

Her hair was entangled with luscious green kelp

That protected her modesty without any help

It hung down over breasts so excitingly full

And covered the parts that are made to enthral

My mind was taken by this girl of my dreams

But as I looked closer all was not as it seems

For legs this beauty she was completely bereft

And a long fishy tail is all she had left

Then with a smile that made my heart stop still

She slipped into the water and I saw she was real

For she dived like a dolphin under the sea

And all that was left were the ripples and me

The End……..or is it ? 

The Mermaid Part 2

The man with the tear soaked eyes walked along the beach for the thousandth time, his hands were shaking and his lips quivering in the cold, he constantly looked out to sea, where was she, would she ever return, would she mend his broken heart. He had but caught a fleeting glimpse of this beauty as she preened herself on that ancient granite rock, but a glimpse was all it had taken; he was completely besotted by this angel from the deep.

Even now, weeks after the event he could still see every tiny detail of his wondrous vision, the sparkling brown eyes that outshone the sun, and the kelp entangled hair that seemed to be alive with light and glistened with the reflection from the moon. Her heaving breasts that had caused the man in him to want her body for his own sexual pleasures, and that oh so innocent smile that had replaced the pure animal lust within him with a more protective desire to take her in his arms and cherish her.
