The Sensual Mermaid

There are times where

I can’t even imagine being in love

trusting a man,

holding hands

walking down the street,

feeling safe in being meek,

when I feel like it.

Knowing he commands the attention

of each room that he enters

kissing me in the center of

his innermost being

seeing

things that no one else

can see in me

and still making the conscious

decision to choose me everyday

kissing each fear away,

day by day
