Love of the Sea

 

Me: Write a poem about a forbidden love between a girl and a mermaid

Beneath the moonlit, silver waves,
Where ocean's secrets find their graves,
A girl walked by the twilight shore,
Drawn to the depths, forevermore.

Her heart, a captive to the sea,
Felt whispers of a mystery.
In the water's gentle embrace,
She sought a glimpse of a hidden face.

A mermaid, with scales of sapphire gleam,
Appeared to her like a dream.
Eyes like ocean’s deepest blue,
Held a love both wild and true.

From different worlds, their hearts entwined,
A love forbidden, yet unconfined.
In secret coves, they'd meet at night,
A stolen kiss, by moon's soft light.

Their hands would touch, then part in pain,
A love caught in a sea-salt chain.
For land and sea could never blend,
A cruel fate they could not mend.

Yet in their hearts, a fire burned,
A longing tide, unreturned.
Whispers of love in the ocean’s breath,
Defying even the grip of death.

They’d dream of a world where they could be,
Together forever, wild and free.
But reality’s tide was strong and clear,
Pulling them apart, year after year.

Still, every night, by the moonlit sea,
The girl would wait for her love to be.
And the mermaid’s song would softly rise,
A lullaby beneath the skies.

For love like theirs, though kept apart,
Lives forever in the heart.
In dreams and whispers, they remain,
A love eternal, despite the pain.
