I was paddling around the reef
looking for some shrimp
showing my mating colors
feeling like a pimp.
a melodic voice floated around the bend
I pushed through some dolphins, said “get out the way”
They said, “what's your problem pal”
That’s when I saw the mermaid.
She had golden curls
and a sea shell top
sea green eyes
that looked way wise
beyond her years.
I could feel some tears
and my heart was bursting.
With my jaw agape
I let out a gasp
just then a tsunamis hit me
and I woke up in my bath.
The water was tepid, maybe even cold
with the dream a fadin
I started to feel old.
So I got out the bath
and grabbed my towel
glanced in the mirror
and saw myself scowl.
Something caught my eye
and yanked me through the glass
tumbled through some ether,
and landed on my ass.
I looked around a meadow
and inhaled a green sea of grass
It flowed under foot
and to some woods
where I caught a flicker of a doe.
A voice in my head urged me on
a sense I could not stow.
So I made my way,
hooves' a slappin
and lungs a gaspin’ .
Then I heard that same melody
from the reef
so I grit my teeth
And ran for the trees.
There she stood
among the woods
looking like a fallen star
bright and golden,
my heart was beholden
when she turned
and looked from afar.
Her smile enchanted
my feet felt planted
mired in the earth.
She snuck to my bosom
my love,
my woman.
