but where would they live
in neither sea
nor land
time is all I can give

to lie beneath the surface
and look upon your face
its torture
its pain
please death bare
me grace

for I am bound to you
and you are bound to me
but cruel fate
hath slapped us one
for you are from the air and I the sea

to you I go now
I will follow my heart
leave my family
leave my friends
from the sea I depart

my spirit ascends to you
to forever hold your embrace
I see your wings cut
your body slewn
to your side I race

fate hath been cruel again
for you are taken from me
I watch
my heart bleeds
as you are transformed a mermaid in the sea. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 227 [topic] => 13 [informant] => anesthetic [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

A poignant story, very tragic. The story told kept me interested from start to end, and the ideas explored were quite enjoyable to read. Well done.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
