The Mermaid's Secret

The sea was angry that day.
Strong and fearless, she was not amused.
In an instant she would disappear
into those flashing waters…
down, down…
perhaps to skim the ocean floor
where the pirate ship rested,
its trove known to her alone.

On second thought,
today she will swim the endless tunnels
of her Lover’s veins.
In the end it’s all the same.
With every treasure
she found a certain calm
the deeper she did go.
