-Mermaid's Cry-
A unicorn slain
The sandman dead
Darkbell nights
Ages begotten
Tattered wings
Story myths,
Hero’s clipped
Cantrips failed
Gaudy men
Rancid breath
Yet,
Now pieces assemble
beside a mermaid drowned
whispered a calling of my name.
who kissed my face
did a beckoning quite the same.
and flowers fettered
litter the ground on which I stand.
Memories forgotten
stray teardrops hit the sand.
and dingy stardust
ripped brutally from my skin.
with feathers grey,
I’ve betrayed my dreaming kin.
brazen lips
clandestine in doomed facade.
riddler hanged
I strangled my musing bard.
hit me hard
ravaging both my soul and mind.
and rapist’s eye
were all I could seem to find.
a sister wild
a flighty Faery
lured me home to rambling bliss.
daisies tremble
while I await a madman's Kiss.
