Melusine the siren

 



Melusine the Siren.

(A lone voice whispers)

You are the coveted cascade of warm emotions

Within this old life filled and overflowing with frosty cold dreams

The raw power to melt the iceberg embracing my very soul

Holding me like a helpless prisoner 

In my many deeply hidden underground streams

All the passing seasons love songs 

Lost in the throes of Spring

Summer Autumn and Winter

Are just filled with heartfelt choruses that remind me of that eternal soft kiss

Of exquisite red lips

That left an eternal fingerprint on my heart's window 

I once tasted so long ago and even still now

After all this time
Will always miss

The assurance of our eventual return

An unspoken pact to be together forever

Sings a sweet symphony into Heavens silvery mists

A divine melody of unchained excitement

To break all chains of my mortal confinement 

Like whispers of an abundance of carnal lyrics and captivating poetry 

Filled with joyous lines of a pain-free existence 

Merged and infused with surreal magic at its deep centre

Moving freely with no resistance 

It sings its own mesmerising verses of Danse du Ventre

And from the opened mouths of ethereal silhouettes

Swirling all around me as I sleep 

I always hear your soul’s deep calls from a little rock 

Asking me to appear and hold on to you forever 

Before this treacherous glass bridge, we walk upon

Breaks and falls 

And as I appear to claim you appearing through Morpheus's portal, as the slippery dark shadows advance

In my deep dreams 

 I always stand in awe and watch in a hypnotic trance

As you perform your sensuous sword dance

To announce to the watching spirits

Our newly found preordained romance 

My Goddess
My Queen

My mystical lover and soulmate from The Great In-Between

My Melusine 
My Siren

Who leaves nothing to chance
