Mermaid, Once Met... Poem by hazem al jaber

Mermaid, once met...







from the depth of ocean, i heard a sound...

its whispers lured me to turn back...

and to rend away a silents` dread from inside...

turned myself back...

to see a beautiful fashioned never saw before...

dancing at my tracks foots...

paused for a while with no mind...

even, as my heart stopped beating...

just only my eyes deeply watched and got confused...



a beautiful fashioned mermaid that only heard about...

and saw only there into my dreams...

here she is facing me now...

face to face...

eyes went so deep into one the other...

here into this darkest night...

on that beach where i used lonely to be...



with calmness smoothly moves came to me...

more closer she were...

with her sweet perfume and a lights from her eyes...

whispers with no sound went into my ears...

sweet perfumed breathes gave to my chest...

and with a soft arms never touched before...

hugged me so tight and begged me...

to take away all her sadness and loneliness from that deep ocean...

begged me to share her feelings...

to wipe away her tears...

and to give her what the ocean won`t give...

asked me a love and a happiness and her desires...

called me sweetheart...

and begged me a love....

as she asked i gave...

her loneliness i took away...

her feelings i shared and enjoyed as she asked...

our bodies shared and made a love...

love that never ever had before...



closed my eyes happily...

fell to a sleep...

waked up...

looked around...

there were no that mermaid...

back again lonely as i am...

on this my dark beach...

waiting that mermaid whom i met only once...
