Ariel


ARIEL
(after Walt Disney's "The Little Mermaid")


under the piscean sea
of feelings, i live
princess of the deep.
my love is a turbulence
breaking near the water's
edge.

since what i long for
is an earthly prince
dry yet fertile like land
far yet warm as the sun
shimmering on the sea's
surface from my vision
below.

but this watery love
like the sea spray
is doomed, for i am
a mermaid forever caught
in the ocean's overwhelming
grip.
