My Mermaid's Tale

Missing image

I stroll along coral sands, pick up a sea shell
here and there. Each one reminds me of Miranda,

and of a day, decades passed by, my Miranda quite blue.

 

All I now do, in these humid spring times

is frolic in a lap pool, fumble with a blow-up

version of the cutest of curvaceous mermaidens.

 

I drive to the Pencil Creek Falls and wander down,

far down ~ among ferns, moss and palms, to a secret 

pool and plunge in, cuddle and play with the toy. 

 

We wear no clothes ... and always on Mondays

when my wife goes quilting far-away on the Coast

for who comes to spy or visit then?

 

I mean the Falls, not the toy mermaid and me,

but the height of the waterfall and its wildlife

of course, and I am reminded of a mermaid refuge

 

to draw there real mermaids with firm breasts

and slinky, cool tails for they are rather

'finnish', as it were ....

 

Have you, dear reader, noted a mermaid's tail?

It is a poignant thing for she has no way, you see ....

You do see? Fine. Her case frustrates me.

 

And how does a red-blooded man unclothe

a mermaid with blue bra, blue make-up, blue tail,

eyelashes flickering, eyes smoldering, hair fresh

 

and dripping wet, with the sound of water gurgling

in her delicate throat, her kissable throat,

her pulsating throat

 

as if her climax of sensual convulsions

comes

for her there?

 

I know of a young widow who chose to become one ~

a mermaid born of merriment, eternally to tease men,

at least those who swam with her, in the nude.

 

And, can a mermaiden be virginal? If so,

how does 'Her Elegance' become un-virginal?

You, no doubt, have caught my drift of thought?

 

I am thankful, I suppose, that she does not smoke.

Small mercies are diamonds in mermaidenhood

and, truly, her eyes of desire glint like hot coals.

 

And her magnetic breasts, both north and south

polar regions; what of them? Do mermaids beget

or, as nuns in a monastery, simply die ...

 

while folk such as I can but hope

for novice maidens at sea (non-inflatable ones!)

to flock ~ rather, breaststroke to the sisterhood?

 

I am presently desperate in that respect.

Do not under-estimate me ~ no one is

too old or too young to please a mermaid

 

for she, too, breathes oxygen and kisses

with a warm, sweet breath, tangy with

freshness of sea salt

 

upon her soft breasts.

Along coral sands, if you pick up a sea shell,

remember this picture

 

of the mermaid, Miranda,

and me.

    You know, I've read this a couple of times and I really like it. I have heard many times through the years about how mermaids can only give oral love, it makes me wonder who bestowed them their traits, and why that one in particular, is it to preserve their purity somehow? I have read some of your other poems , but have never commented, I have never taken an interpretation class and your work kind of intimidates me. So enough rambling, this is very good.

      Hey, Matt!

      I thought the idea was to enjoy. Do not be intimidated by a poor old guy who ain't got much than memories to serve him.

    LOL

    I can't stop laughing. This is hilarious. (I suppose it probably isn't meant to be humorous, but it certainly is.) Good job on this one.

      It is meant to be humorous

      and to make a point that Legend made: Why ARE mermaids so sexy, at least to men? Did sailors invent them or did they adopt the legendary sirens? And, who talks about a merman? Do you see ladies drooling over mermen or being sent a birthday card with a merman on it?
      You see, I was sent a birthday card, very recently, by Dr Bradley. It had a mermaid on the front. I am looking at her now!
      Cheers, Ron.

      I covered the whole mermaid

      Swan, but I expect some will look at the picture as well!

      Thank you.

    A nice read Ron.. I've always fascinated mermaids.. The name Miranda suits her well.. Getting reminded of one Shakespearean tale where Miranda is the name of a sea queen.. a heroine in that island.. Nice write..

    The starting and ending are fabulous.. but for a few lines in the middle, the piece just rocks!!!!

      The part in the middle ...

      is where the tale or tail comes to meet with the body. You cannot dispense with the middle!!!

      Thank you for saying so.

      My face is now as red as a ... raspberry?
      We had no daughters, but if we had, I would have voted for "Miranda"!

      I do not know how men fantasize

      as they do not tell me their intimate thoughts. And these are not my intimate thoughts but rather thoughts that simply peeled off part of an old orange that is me.
      Thank you, Myst.

    Wow and all this from a single word prompt.I have to admit to enjoying the journey you took me on. You certainly asked a few questions that i had never considered when thinking of mermaids.( say what is it that makes them so darn sexy?) Fantasy yes i guess though that it ought to be listed under Adult Fantasy.
    I enjoyed it i would love to see how others accept it
    i guess the title of this contest will show us

    Wonderful Good luck in the contest

      Thank you Legend

      I have added 'Adult' although whether youngsters would have suspected Double Entendre, who knows?
      Thank you for going on my journey. It is always a pleasure when people say this about a longish poem.
      Ron
