Mermaids Feet.
1) I Stared so long - Into his Eyes
I became Lost in Him
& the Amorous Design
of my Slavery
Undid the Bones of Me
& Sheltered him in My Softness.
My Heart hurts when the Water
gets too close to it
So I close down my
'Eyes'...and Escape into the Space
that is already Lit for it.
As the Blossom breaks into Summer Sky
The Whispering of the Winds
Unveils the Trance from me
& the Story begins -
A race, a Smile, his arm for awhile
The Lips, my Chase
the style of my legs folded under the Table -
His beautiful Face
The way his Lips Part
when he Lifts a Hand,
A Finger
All under his Soleful Command
creates a nod to Engender a movemental
Mirror -
2) The Synchronisation of our
Moments of Terror
Before the Kiss
& the Lustful Revenge from
The Cobra of the Abyss.
That Lustful Demon of the Deep
Who asks Life from
The Painting of Water by the
Waterfall of the Fallen Sheep.
Food and Fruit from the Reaping
of the Ribbon of Sex -
From the line of no Beginning &
Breathing
Of the Pattern of Rising and falling
& the Black Panthers
Leap.
- & in the Shouting
His Clothes fall on my Back
like Great Golden Leaves
I am Consumed by his Lack
Under-Cover -
His Spy - His Only 'I'
​
​
3) like a Mermaid in his Material
I Wade through the Footsteps of someone
'Elses' Life
& Find Myself
A Married Mans Wife -
Escape to a Black Cave of
the Secret Domain of Love
Within the Beating Rocks of my
Heart - where the Water Beats
Apart - My Resistance
& Relents Softly as a Beaten Down
Wave to Foam
Under his Insistance.
