Mystery Folded

Clytemnestra Aa (c)



Once, a good-hearted fisherman
Glimpsed a glittery reflection
On a faraway island 
He kept approaching
that luring anonymity 
till he was transfixed 
by a divine sight
A bliss to the eye 
it was Mermaid 
heavenly brown eyes 
gazing at him
He thought he must be 
daydreaming 
till she called his name 
"Have we met before?" He inquired
She slipped into the water 
till she was no more
Perplexed, 
he stared into the dark deep 
and deemed that a sweet illusion
