The Maiden

By Starburst

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

If you stand on the shores of the ocean, blue You can hear her song calling out to you And if you look really close, in you sight she will be Looking to the shore quite mournfully Then when she sees you, hope lights up her eyes When she sees it's not her love, the glow quickly dies When the sun sets, she begins to cry Tears of desperate longing, she turns with a sigh The mermaid was a maiden, a spell on her was cast And if her true love came, the spell would not last But for many years, she has watched and waited And the hope that she once held, has slowly dimmed and faded Her love has never come, maybe he never will But she will continue to wait for him, for she loves him still2000, Written November 11th, 2001 © on Nov 11 2001 10:54 AM PST   0 • 8
