Dancing mermaid

Wrote back in 09, when I couldn't sleep one night and needed to start a creative assignment. This poem started that.

Like a dancing mermaid,
How could she leave
Your beautiful turquoise waters?
She breathes you in
As you dance through her soul,
Your soothing whispers
Hushing the world to silence;
At night you seductively
Play with the moon;
Glistening with delight
Like a magical ballroom light;
She hears you my friend
Your words do not fall
Deaf on her ears;
She knows we’ve abused you
Raped you of your life,
Deeds cannot be undone
We can but cherish you more,
What would our lives
Be without you after all?
