Wicked Wednesday: Mermaid

Come with me, under the sea,
I’ll take you by the hand.
We’ll wade in slow, not far to go,
And soon you’ll understand.

I’ve loved you from the moment
that I first saw you walk by,
You stirred my heart and made me
want you under the dark sky.

I knew that I would die a little
if we did not meet,
I had to draw you to the water,
wet your naked feet.

When we first spoke you struck a chord
way deep inside my heart.
And you could see that I would not
let fear keep us apart.

My hunger for you grew
over the minutes…hours…days.
Desire made me flush and think of
oh so many ways

to have you and to love you
and to give you what you need.
My love is like the fertile earth
and you provide the seed.

I want you with me always,
as we step into the blue,
to keep me safe, and love me,
and know that I love you too.

I’ll show you many wonders
to enchant you, make you savor
the endless love we’ll always feel,
the melodies that quaver.

I cannot live without you
You’re my soulmate and my love,
I need you and I want you
in the water and above.

I swim below the water,
your toes curl in the sand.
And as we journey to the depths,
I think you understand.
