Mermaid of the Waves
06 September 2006

The body beautiful
mermaid of the waves
Just to look and see that prize
the paper cup upon a mantle

A candle to those triumphs
an element electrically unplugged
Muscular structure, truth from within
flexing, stretching, radiating glory

Her eyes, her heart, her inner-soul
maybe not perfection, just divinity
Passion and compassion moulded
envelopment, ecstasy engulfed

The body beautified, her tail taught
her pureness to elevate
A mermaid, yet a woman in illusion
this vision, televised in introspect


“Your remembrances are like unto ashes,
your bodies to bodies of clay. “
Job 13: 12 KJV
