Elegy to a mermaid.

A cry is lost amid the night
a teardrop falls on lonely shore,
a cloak of darkness dims her light
the love that shone is now no more.
The blood red sunrise signs her name
in lines of fire across the sea,
to kiss her heart with icy flame
for love that can no longer be.
The winds that blow along the sand
in whispers of eternity,
to touch her lips, and take her hand
to take her grief, and set her free.
A gentle zephyr reaches out
with arms that softly lift her soul,
to blow away the seeds of doubt
and once again to make her whole.
To realise she cannot be
the one to hold her lovers hand,
a princess, captive to the sea
can never walk the verdant land...
