Favorite Quote:
Second star to the right and straight on till morning!


Hear my song sweet sailor,
For you will be mine.
The shade of the night,
Over the cove,
As my melody chimes.

I’m crusted with salt and blue,
The sea creatures cling to me.
I am clouded with squids ink,
But I want you, sweet sailor,
My sweet sailor.

Plunge down to meet me,
Together at last.
Come into the deep, my home,
I promise it will treat you well.

And fall in love with me,
As I have you,
And we will sing our song for eternity.
It will echo over the land.

And maybe lovers like us,
Will hear our hymn.
My love,
My sweet sailor.


The author's comments:
Maneli is the word for 'mermaid' and 'stay with me' in Persian, and I felt this fit in well with this poem. I love mermaids and the cold English coasts- which inspired me to write this piece.
