Mermaid Metaphysics
By Mandy Shantyne Lopez
Ebb and Anchor
She drifts where moonlight guides the sea;
He roots where Earth claims destiny.
A siren’s song; a mortal’s creed,
Two halves of one eternal need.
Her wings unfurl in the ocean's glow.
His strength is the rock she yearns to know.
She brings the chaos; he the calm:
Her tidal pull, his steady psalm.
She moves; he stays- the dance unfolds,
A divine duality etched in gold.
~MSL33
Divine Duality
In the cradle of the tide and stone,
Two forces meet, yet stand alone.
The siren calls, her song a flame.
He answers softly, yet none the same.
She flows with waves -untamed, surreal.
He stands like mountains, firm and real.
A paradox-their hearts aligned,
Two truths in one, a love divine.
Her chaos wraps his steady form.
His calm becomes her raging storm.
Together they, the earth and the sea,
Unveil the soul’s duality.
For in his gaze, the stars appear
And in her depths, he silences fear.
Their love, a truth that time can’t sever-
A balance struck; a bond formed forever.
~MSL33
1:22
At 1:22, the siren weaves,
A golden thread through love’s beliefs.
Invisible strands that time can’t sever,
Binding souls to drift forever.
Beneath the tide, where whispers rest,
This thread remains, a sacred test.
~MSL33

Pulse
Her currents surge; his gravity calls,
A dance of heat as silence falls.
Two forces merge- a cosmic creed-
Divine duality, raw and freed.
~MSL33

Sacred Balance
She flows like water, wild and free-
A force of creation, eternity’s sea.
He stands like stone, steady and strong-
A pillar of order where she belongs.
Her whispers spark the stars to burn,
His silence waits for her return.
She carries life; he shapes the form.
Together, they weather the cosmic
storm.
Two halves of one, yet wholly divine,
A sacred balance, a love that aligns.
In their union, the heavens reside,
The Feminine and Masculine, side by
side.
~MSL33
Ancient Love
Before the tides first kissed the shore,
Before the stars began to soar,
Our souls had danced in realms unseen,
In golden light, serene, pristine.
No clock could bind; no years could fade,
A love so vast, the cosmos made.
Through lifetimes lost and worlds reborn,
We found each other, dusk to morn.
The ocean hums our sacred tune;
The sky recalls our love’s commune.
Through whispered winds and flames that burn,
To you, my soul will always return.
For what we share, no age can sever,
An ancient love, alive forever
~MSL33
Birth of Solaris
From the heart of the Sun, a flame was born,
A golden light to weather the storm.
She fell to the sea. Her wings ablaze:
A celestial being in oceanic haze.
The waves embraced her radiant glow,
A harmony only the cosmos could know.
With each tide’s pull, her essence grew:
A child of the Sun, both wild and true.
Now she dances, where sea meets sky-
A living hymn no stars deny.
For Solaris shines, both fierce and free,
The Sun’s whisper to eternity.
~MSL33
Awakening
Born of stars, her soul had slept;
Through tides of time, the silence kept.
Yet now the Earth begins to sing,
A call to rise; to spread her wings.
The ocean stirs, the winds take flight,
Her heart ignites in golden light.
A metaphysician-timeless and wise-
Unfolding truths beneath the skies.
She feels the shift, the age now near,
A love reborn, both bright and clear.
Awake she stands,
her purpose drawn,
A soul of the sun,
reborn at dawn.
~MSL33
Siren’s Spell
A melody spun in the depths of the sea,
Notes that whisper of destiny.
The siren sings. Her voice a flame.
A song that leaves no heart the same.
Her tones cascade, wild and sweet-
A spell that pulls with a rhythmic beat.
Strings of stars and tides of sound,
A magic where all souls are bound.
Each chord a wave; each verse a tide-
A hymn where secrets softly hide.
She weaves her music, raw and free,
A spell of love and mystery.
Beware her song- yet yearn to hear-
For in her voice a joyful seer.
A siren’s spell, the heart laid bare,
A harmony beyond compare.
~MSL33
Tide’s Whisper
His voice:
a tide-both calm and wild-
Ancient in texture,
hypnotizing in tone.
A Siren’s hymn, it pulls me near,
Echoing love only hearts can hear.
~MSL33
Essence Collector
A trace of earth; a hint of sea-
His scent is a map of mystery.
It lingers soft, yet bold and true-
A whisper of him in all I do.
~MSL33

Essence Collecter II
He walks the tides- where whispers dwell-
A seeker drawn to the ocean’s spell.
Each breath, a note; each wave, a song.
He gathers scents where they belong.
The salt of the sea; the fire of the sun;
The earth’s soft musk when the day is done;
The wind’s sharp edge; the rain’s embrace-
He stores their essence in endless space.
His heart- a vessel, deep and vast-
Holds moments fleeting, shadows cast.
For what is life but fleeting streams
Of captured scents and stolen dreams?
The siren watches, silent and still,
Drawn to the art, the quiet thrill.
And in his hands, the world’s perfume,
A collector’s craft, a cosmic bloom.
