The queen of the seas <br />Gossamer graced enchantress <br />Her beauty would make you weak in the knees <br />She glides away after a soft caress <br /> <br />She glistens, she gleams <br />Golden drenched breasts <br />She visited you in lazy dreams <br />A nymph at her best <br /> <br />While swimming in the azure waters of the Med <br />One day she lost her way <br />And landed upon an obscure island <br />Entranced, she was led astray <br /> <br />She rose from the waters <br />In her splendoured naked beauty <br />Her fins turning into legs <br />Her torso long and her hair flowy <br /> <br />She came upon a twisted path <br />Leading to some lush green fields <br />And saw a bronzed bare torso man <br />Tending to his cornfields <br /> <br />Skin glistening with sweat <br />She watched mesmerized <br />Her attention now riveted <br />Never seen such beauty under the skies <br /> <br />He suddenly was kissed by a cool breeze <br />Turned and saw a heavenly vision, blinking his eyes <br />Slowly approaching her where she stood near the trees <br />Gently tracing his fingers in wonder, never seen such beauty in his life <br /> <br />O Sweet lady....Have you lost your way in the seas <br />Or were you washed ashore? <br />She just shook her head not understanding a word <br />Never having heard a spoken language before <br /> <br />Quiver of a smile touched her face <br />She spoke with her emerald green eyes <br />He was hit by a sudden flash as she gazed <br />Suddenly comprehending that she was a mermaid in disguise<br /><br />Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/n-1-ballad-the-mermaid-part-i/
