...diary of a mermaid

It was a full moon today…

with the brilliant and seductive moon,
The shining moonlit night became surreal one

The moon seemed to have come to meet
With a mermaid…

And a stupid boy also came,
In this enchanting night…
And waited beside the shore to meet her…
The mermaid…

He waited……waited
When his friends came to take him home
He refused to leave-such a moon…

But he waited for his mermaid…
It was such a beautiful night though.

Deep at night when;
The moon went behind the dark clouds,
He fell asleep on the sandy sea shore…

When at last,

The coy mermaid came and;

Find the boy; he was sleeping
Bending his hand under his head
…like a little kid

She wiped the dirt on his forehead and

Combed his disheveled hairs with
Her rosy beautiful fingers …
