Mikki, Girl

Dedicated to my friend; to the others; to the dark mermaid creatures like us

The soul doesn't lie

Our silver eyes don't belong here

Trapped together

We reside in the lining of the horizon

Crying liquified diamonds

Waiting for the right time

That may never find us without rewinding the lives of the forgotten

She'll never be unspoken, unheard of in the land she chooses wisely in the night

Amongst the lively ones, where her lovers once were and will be

Remains the beautiful mystery

One in the same, you and I

We’ll swim far away from here

And come up for air

By the rocks under the sunshine of our current time

I’ll brush your golden hair

With my fingers, until the current swings us

Further in line

With oblivion
