Seduced By the Sea

We played by the sea, come swim with me

you shouted, I was frightful so very doubtful,

she looked happy free, splashing, full of glee

sun shining, water mistrustful though delightful,

where are you, not sure, I’m planted on seashore 

panic filled my being, your beauty I’m not seeing

lack of courage I deplore, your safety can’t ignore 

my heart is racing, find myself in water swimming,

it’s certainly apparent, I’m taken by your strong current

I find myself lifelessly spinning, constantly turning

consciously it’s self evident I’ve become your servant,

mocking with your waves, enticed into watery graves

seduced now at your mercy, you show no courtesy 

your power totally enslaves, my body now craves

life not controversy, though you’ll end my life early,

I see your psychopathic smile, I submitted to your lie

so now within your heartless merciless beauty I die.
