The moon, so dark and deadly,
She lashes out and one by one
The stars fall from their places,
Rushing, floating to their rest
Where they can sleep

And by a sleep to say we end
The heart, the loss, the pain;
They burn,
But burning wakes the passion
Kindled to a flame in hope:

What should be hope that dwindles?
But a cure could soothe the cold that stings
Their blackened souls and darkened eyes.
They close too soon
As singing fades the consciousness,

Escape to depths that suffer not
The loss of jealous minds--
It bears them there in self-absorbed evasion;
To think no more upon the cause
But forget themselves in ever-tightening spirals.

Author's Comments

A lot of my work starts as a single line in my head that i just have to write down and, once started, the words flow as if it didn't come from me, but were being whispered in my ear. This often means that when i reread what i've written it makes no sense at all ;P this, however, is one that does. to me, if not to anyone else.

Mermaids are strange, selfish, beautiful, jealous creatures in my mind. Once human, rejected, abandoned or otherwise let down by love they disappear onto the sea, losing their humanity and numbing their souls.

Again, i've borrowed (half) a line from Hamlet. Gotta love Shakespeare 8-)

[edit 24/4/07]
changed the layout and punctuation a bit--hopefully it reads easier
