A Black Ocean Full of Mermaids

Eleonora Papott

Thoughts are swimming

    Inside my head.

 

Calling me to lose my mind.

      Painfully screaming my name. 

 

                    Seductive mermaids,

   With long, thorny hair.

 

    Luring me into their abyss

              With their sharp and colourful tails.

 

My consciousness is drowning

           In their enchanting song.

 

           I crave you to escape from their claws:

   Kill their torment or love their flaws.

 

        But, they have no soul.

You will never see their eyes.

Resonance, Volume 1:

Resonance is the first collection of creative writing digitally published by Ta Voix, and will hopefully be the first of many. Everything within these digital bindings has been lovingly created by young writers, and meticulously edited and produced by young publishers. We are not yet professionals, but we deserve the chance to be.

Not only will this collection of poetry and prose resonate with you, but the anthology will be resounding. We loudly, and clearly proclaim that the literary industry needs to diversify, it needs transparency, and it needs change.

Trigger warnings: mentions of blood, physical violence and self-harm are present on some pages. Please read at your discretion.
