Drifting

 Something moves in the angry waves, tonight

  Evil legions lurk the seven seas  

Though the clouds take away my vision;

I can feel them in the breeze                                                                                                                                                     

Pulling on the currents

Stealing the light, from                                      

    The meek moon frightened

 The stars hide behind grey curtains

   And I’m standing on the edge of fascination   

    Drifting on the mercy of these turbulent waters

   Only loneliness left as company  

   Wind whispering promises of comfort to me   

   Ancient songs of redemption, as

   Seduction floats in the salty wet wind,   

Voices rise with melody in their wings 

 Sweeter than a lover’s vow

   That never leaves the sting, of

   Disappointment or rejection  

 Comfort and bliss is a Mermaid kiss

Eyes lighting up as a candelabra, fading

Ashen when the daylight comes around

Faces rising swiftly to the surface

Seeing longing

  Radiant skin naked with desire

Perfected

By the agonizing cries of strong men

 Phantoms woken from evil rest

Reaching out their hands

Offering the touch of their eternal death
