What are you, being of the Sea? Staring at me with that hidden eye, Like a creature born to dine me, But with my delight you swiftly die. I hate you not, but I worship you. For without you, I am nothing more Than no-one with nothing to do But watching you vanish ashore. Thus I flee away from the sand ashore, Slicing the Sea surface gliding through, Against each dying waves whom I adore, Battling me as my ardor slowly grew. So keenly in the water I wait and I wait ‘Til you tower behind me before that boom. ‘Til that moment we re’lise there’s no hate, Just desire to send ourselves to tomb. And whose sweet voice do I hear? Her face as fine, cold as her breath Shadowed by her dark robe of fear, Her scythe… she’s none other than Death So come here Death, let me seduce You! Dance with me! But dare not to fantasise To take my hand to Heaven’s gate, too. Here my soul eternally lives, not dies. Swim with me, Vicious Aphrodite! As I flee from the shiny sway Of your scythe with all my might! As thunder struck, I’ll dance away. Chase me! Catch me if you can, With that sleek swaying scythe of yours. Though with greater speed I ran and I ran, Adrenaline streaming without a pause. Still, with great force your blade tried To take me, but I rid on like a pest To the sand, where the Wave softly died And the Sun and Sea shut their Eyes and rest. |

Welcome to Passions! Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises... |

Welcome to passions...pleasure to read you. This poem certainly reminds me of someone and I hope he somehow reads it. Twilight, where the sea and the sun rest...that's the perfect rendering here. TD |
