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.

The Angry Waves

I hear you in the waves
They crash with anger
Each wave frothing with rage
Each wave bringing you closer

The sea mist whispers your name
I taste the salt of your name
I smell the freshness of the mist

I want to walk into you
I want you to wash over me
Wash away my sins

Take me away with your current
Take it all away
Let me become one with the sea
Let me become one with the salt
Let me become one with the mist
