(n) 3 (Ballad) The Mermaid (Part Iii) Poem by Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean

Pangs of nervousness for what lied in store hitting her within
A sense of wonder at her metamorphosis or was it a masquerade
Wasnt she the same as before except a pair of limbs instead of fins
And couldnt she be both just if she rightfully played

The bronzed man returned with some clothes for her to wear
My lady, if you could cover yourself with these clothes
In our world its not nice to go around in the bare
Now if you care to come with me to my humble abode

He took her arm and led her to her house passing through the small market lane
She looked around in wonder not having seen the human world before
They reached a small red roofed cottage and he said this is my domain
Come and live with me and you shall forever be adored

They spoke without speaking through their eyes
It was a wonder coz no speech was needed for them to understand
The speech of love was enough for them to surmise
And there was a lifetime for her to learn and be spanned

He took her in his arms and gazed deeply in her eyes
He bent down and gently kissed her on the lips
You were the one that I was waiting all my life
As he embraced her, their passions explode and drip

Time flew with a lightening speed as their fire grew
Getting lost in each other they were flying in a different world
But the conniving destiny had something else in brew
Would they be able to win over it, lets see as the story unfurls
