How many years he'd sought this prize?
A mermaid fair, with hazel eyes.
Luring him with siren lies.
But now, so close, he hears her sigh.
The sun is rising in the sky.
Light spills upon the lone dark sea.
And Solo swears, Rey shall not flee—
For he has chased the blue world's edge,
Seeking, hunting, to no end,
The hidden jewel within the sea,
Starlight dancing deep beneath.
She lures him, baits him, tricks him, leads him
Slips into his dreams and feels him.
His skin is scorched, his mouth is dry.
Thirsty, hungry … heart on fire.
But now he stands at journey's end,
Deep down he knows she can't defend him.
"I can take now what I want."
And watches her upon the rock.
The sailor raised his spear up high,
His steady hand against the sky.
He squinted tight, eyes dark and narrowed.
His fingers twitched and seagulls scattered.
The air around him sucked away,
"You will not leave me, not today!"
Rey sat before the dark stone cave.
The sailor sneered, her tail waved.
Her hazel eyes looked out to see him,
In silence, wonders, should she flee him?
Her fingers slipped into her hair,
Released a bun upon skin bare.
It fell like liquid night and he
Leapt deep into the darkened sea.
His hot breath caught, the cold sea swelled,
His red heart pounded, a beating bellow.
She slipped away.
He could not follow.
Ben threw the spear, rage burning hot,
"I will destroy you, just you watch!"
Ocean white, waves crashing hard,
Dragged him through this ship's graveyard.
He drunk one last deep breath of air,
And sunk beneath the ocean there.
She watched him in the dim green hue
His black hair waved, his skin turned blue.
Her cold-fish heart fluttered wildly—
She could not watch him drown beside her.
For war at sea had cost them both
Uncharted worlds, lost and remote.
He'd followed her until the end,
Chasing her lonely siren's song.
It filled her veins with warm, sweet yearning
She swum before him, emotions churning.
She wrapped her fingers all around him
Tasted his lips and found them wanting.
She gave herself to him that night
And raised him back into the light.
He swept his palm along her hair
And said, "my love, you saved me there".
They each entwined, their bodies pressed,
And held one another 'til daylight's rest.
So perhaps you'll see upon the sea,
The sailboat drifting lone and free.
The handsome sailor with night-black hair
Dark wanting eyes and loving stare.
And there beside him: a silver shadow.
Slipping beneath the waves, she follows.
Forever tied by a string,
the mermaid, Rey, and her Kylo Ren.
