I've just met a mermaid while floating at sea.
Her hair is gold thread and her lips are rose blossoms.
White porcelain is her skin and scales of emerald-blue are her legs.
My mermaid's voice is smooth like honey; she weaves enchantments in my head with foreign melodies.
Her head pokes up beside my boat, and with an exotic hand she beckons for me to come nearer.
What's a sailor to do but obey?
I expect a kiss.
Her bare torso and thin shoulders betray me; her beautiful face contorts to that of a beast as she pulls me overboard.
I kick and I fight and I try to get away.
The light is fading.
She is all I can see in this salty water.
The ocean is my home now.
