Neptune Calling

Ever seductive
Ever powerful
Your call is constant
I stand at your feet
A slave.

Listening to your whispering surf
White foam gurgling at my feet
I want to heed your call
I want to fall at your feet
I want to walk into your depths
I want to keep walking
In to your welcoming barnacles.

I can feel your waters engulf me
And your tentacles embrace me
As I am pulled down into your liar
In your throne, at the depths of the ocean
An eternal sleep at your feet.

Though your seduction is complete
I will not heed
I will not take that first step
If I do it will be the last
If I do I will walk until I am yours.

Oh mighty Neptune
Why do you call?
It is not my time yet
I cannot fall, even though I want to
I cannot be one with you yet.

Though you call oh mighty Neptune
I am still in the land of the living
I walk amongst them
Your lure is not for me
not tonight at least.
