I am in love with Neptune..The God of the Sea
He is in love with me
I found him hard and broken by the water's edge
His brown chocolate eyes warmed by the sun.. but so lost..
"Mermaid what is your name? He barked
"My name is Ethereal" I whispered... my heart in my throat
"Why do you come to me everyday and leave me messages?" He asked with anger in his voice
"Because I love you..I am not like the rest. I don't go away. I stay.
And when you are angry with yourself I watch and think of ways to make you better."
I looked at my fin as I spoke..flipping it in the green blue waters..Scared I had said too much.
"I see you watch me.."he said quietly.
"I am broken Girl...Maybe you can't fix me..I have been broke a long time. So long."
He lifted his head to the wind and tears coursed down his beautiful face.
I swam to him and cupped his face in my hands..and he lowered his head to meet my lips..Salty tears from his eyes filled my mouth. And i drank them ...
He and I love each other..Neptune and I

New
The candle burned bright in the window as I walked by..
It was lit for a missing woman
She had walked off one stormy night while the heavens raged against the earth..
bright flashes of lightening seemed to be sent to engage the minds of the weak that night
Her mind..
Packing a flashlight, her two favorite books, some food and a little money..She walked away
Her mind was at ease..She had always been a good girl..Been her Mother's obedient daughter..Been her sister's trodden down companion
Been her husbands whipping post
Been tired so damn long of living for everyone but her
Lost within herself by the games people played with her heart
Giving love to her, then taking love from her
it was too much
She had a red stone heart in in her right pocket..and another stone in the left pocket that said "happiness"
I heard she has an Orange grove, and lives quite happily away from them all
A new name, a new life...
She took back her life...Good luck girl..

{one of the most beautiful songs in the world...when i first heard it.. i could not stop crying..it touched my soul so much}
All this time i have loved you and never known your face..all this time i have missed you and searched this human race..here my heart knows love..bathed in your sighs..I'm gonna love you till the seas run dry..
