Venus has been sent down from the heavens
Her long locks of chesnut hair flowed harmoniously with the oceans breeze
Captivating the man’s soul with a sense of elegance & mystery
But wait,
“This cannot be so!” cried the man
My vision must be playing the evil game of trickery
No woman of this caliber would occupy aspects of a ghastly sea creature
“This cannot be so. This cannot be so.”
As he approached closer, intrigued yet horrified
Deception blurred with reality
“This cannot be so. This cannot be so.”
The man was frozen
Soon his ears became hypnotized by the tenderness of her voice
“I don’t care if you don’t want me. I don’t care. I’m yours right now”, she sang
Spellbound and helpless the man succumb to her desires
And simply so, he was never to be found again
I’ll Put a Spell on You - Nina Simone
You Don’t Love Me Yet - Roky Erickson
Must we sacrifice ourselves to others, out of fear of drowning -
deep into the sea of isolation and misery?
Is their hope for love -
or is it just another word, like god or death?
Shall I venture down the path of hopeful dreams and happiness-
or will I just end up more jaded than I am today?
