Oh, sea of life! I swim a secret deep Tattooed in ink upon my mermaid skin. It shields both truth and a lie that still weeps Whilst mirrored in my human star fish fins. Gaze at my bubbles with pure heart that bears The drowning sounds of my beauty song sought. Then in restraint of dropping one love tear, Be but aware to judge and fear me not. For no mercy will blind your shallow stare. See salt shine from my golden straw hair. Hear me serpentine to a final scale Where blue notes ring from my waterfall tail. For the bliss is you, and the fish is me. Separation impossibility.
