Mermaid Poem by Clive Culverhouse
Mermaid
we met in glass jars
on the Beagle in the Pacific
I'd never seen anything
like you before, your hair, your smile,
your huggable eyes, thrown together
by beards and tankards
grabbed from every sun, but
you reflected curves onto my glass
and maimed my stopper for oceans
now we sit on different shelves
but I can still hear you sing
in the darkened storages
and that's more or less
how it was between us
for hundreds
if not thousands
of years
Mermaid
poetry by Clive Culverhouse
***
A narrative upon how things are over eons of time and if things remain the same over the many lifetimes that are relived. One day, in one lifetime, things might be different for those in their glass jars.
o piece of world no ended story dreamy, full colors of love on the blue sea death more than any feelings breath from the fathom of touching it's a slippy hug from the crystal water the Mermaid dear.........
