Mermaid Guppy

Maple in the afternoon
Hazel in the evening by the sea
I’m rearranging puzzles on the surface
And I’m so troubled

Squinted eyes, horizon skies
Comfortable in her colored ways
Patiently awaiting the next rise and fall
I might just pray for a storm to wash us away

Sugar rose petals follow the tongue
Lanky awkward like the morning’s setting sun
Slip and slide oh please girl do not hide
Swimming guppy, swimming angel

Crystal clear silhouette tangled up etiquette
I’m tripping over you, you’re tripping over me
We’re so human it’s nice to be home

Sugar rose petals follow the tongue
Lanky awkward like the morning’s setting sun
Slip and slide oh please girl do not hide
Swimming guppy, swimming angel
