Pangs of nervousness for what lied in store hitting her within <br />A sense of wonder at her metamorphosis or was it a masquerade <br />Wasnt she the same as before except a pair of limbs instead of fins <br />And couldnt she be both just if she rightfully played <br /> <br />The bronzed man returned with some clothes for her to wear <br />My lady, if you could cover yourself with these clothes <br />In our world its not nice to go around in the bare <br />Now if you care to come with me to my humble abode <br /> <br />He took her arm and led her to her house passing through the small market lane <br />She looked around in wonder not having seen the human world before <br />They reached a small red roofed cottage and he said this is my domain <br />Come and live with me and you shall forever be adored <br /> <br />They spoke without speaking through their eyes <br />It was a wonder coz no speech was needed for them to understand <br />The speech of love was enough for them to surmise <br />And there was a lifetime for her to learn and be spanned <br /> <br />He took her in his arms and gazed deeply in her eyes <br />He bent down and gently kissed her on the lips <br />You were the one that I was waiting all my life <br />As he embraced her, their passions explode and drip <br /> <br />Time flew with a lightening speed as their fire grew <br />Getting lost in each other they were flying in a different world <br />But the conniving destiny had something else in brew <br />Would they be able to win over it, lets see as the story unfurls<br /><br />Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/n-3-ballad-the-mermaid-part-iii/
