The Mermaid and The Sailor.
In a previous life,
In a previous world.
She touched his face,
And he woke to find her,
Stroking his brow,
Rinsing the water from his clothes
And tending to his wounds.
She was not a human
She was not an angel ,
No net could ensnare her,
And with every kiss
her eyes seemed to both
promise, and threaten him
With a feeling that he thought
Could never exist.
solid piece
I really enjoyed this, it pulled me from line to line, though I feel it could end a bit stronger. I really like how the poem is romantic with this looming danger and the last line falls short of that, comes off as finding something safe.
