The Merman’s rhyme

He has no love
but music
and cold whispering trees
that were in bloom
under the last dim moon.

He has seen
the unseizable moors
that glitter and dance
in the wandering waves.

He has crossed his Rubicon
The enchantress’ songs
took him along
until he crossed the line of
glimmering waters and fog
with a feral nod.

On the best of days she just follows the seasons by means of bike, skis, or roller-skates.

    Mermaids. They have enticed the imagination since humankind has lived by the sea. I’m writing a little story about mermaids and it is so nice to read what others imagine about these people of the sea. Nice to meet you, Lulia.

Your words are stardust, they shine and sparkle in my heart. Thank you!

heating and scorching
but like the moon
keeping secrets
and the arcane magic of the night
throwing stars
in the lilacs’ claws
till dawn.” -Iulia Halatz
