Full Moon Mermaid Dreams

Poem inspired by a collage I created

Dark night

Many Knights

Unsuccessfully

Sailing through

Attempting to capture

Attempting to grasp

What mystical

Magical

Powers? Seduction?

Illusion and mirage.

Sirens sing to their own

Tunes and master their

Connection to the Ocean

The waves and sound

Waves, depths of

Despair or Loneliness

Wandering

Searching

Floating

The stability of a rock

A temporary stance

Air and wind

But only for a little while.

Flight is not an option

But flying within the

Water, to torpedo through

At speeds unimagined.

Little fish friends

A world of their own.

Unbothered, untamed.

Sailors with binoculars

Try to find the magic

Try to bottle it

To merchandise it.

There is no reprieve

Under the Full Moon night.

About the Creator

Nicole C

Writing sporadically... I tried some challenges but never won anything. Sometimes my poetry helps me process whatever has been going on... sometimes it is pure fiction. Sometimes I like to write about pop culture and astrology.
