They reached the fields and were astonished to see the decrepit estate
The master's tending care was gone, the field was overgrown and wild
They sighted him in a corner with overgrown hair and a dishevelled state
Approaching him, the disguised mermaid looked at him and smiled
O Adonis, We are passing by in this island and need shelter to stay the night
Can you take us in for a day and we shall be gone tomorrow
He could never say no to anyone being a true gallant knight
He took the two ladies in, house looking in a state of sorrow
Darkness soon came upon them and the ladies retired to their room
He went out to drink in the darkness near the sea.....his soul in a state of unrest
In the milky whiteness of moonlight, he thought he saw an angel loom
In a translucent white dress, it was his guest heading west
Moving sensuously, she almost glided towards the sea
Poetry in motion, beauty to kill for.....she was every man's dream
Stopping at his arm's length she said ' My life is for thee'
Marry me and I promise I will illuminate your life like a sun beam
He said I am a dead man and only my love can come and make me alive
She is my breath, she is my passion, she is my life
You shall make any man proud but my life will get revived
Only by one woman in this world, only she can be my wife
As he said these words....thick clouds covered the moon
And as it slowly got uncovered he saw that it was his very mermaid in front of him
Unbelievingly, he touched her face and it was really her...and she swooned
Into his arms.....getting locked in an embrace.You know what, miracles do happen
