The Mermaid Calls
The Mermaid Calls
You draw me close,
and I can not swim.
You lure me,
tempt me,
and tell me…
things.
Your beauty is beyond,
all that I have ever known,
or will know.
How can I look away?
I want to touch what I see,
I want to be part of
what I do not know.
You are illusive.
You are austere…
The woman,
bodiless and boundless.
Her hair soft kelp,
Her touch…
The hope to drown,
a witless man,
and support
a mariner.
