i've always dreamed of being a
mermaid
i could run away
deep into the ocean's arms
shiny/green/purple
irridescent scales (silky-smooth)
would cover my tail
and i would be slender and slip and slide through
the breaking waves and the water.
I would pick seashells from the ocean floor and
bathe on rocks, combing my hair.
I would have friends of birds and fish
and even the land-animals would love me.
I would seduce sailors and save the ship-wrecked.
I would pray for rain and wish for warm nights.
I would cry salt-water tears for loves' lost
and i could never, ever drown.
