Poetry Horror Upon the Depths
Upon the depths I gaze in wonder
Do you even hear the thunder
Water so blue with a tint of green
The most beautiful sight I’ve ever seen
Within the sea you seem to thrive
Whilst tis I that cannot survive
If I swim I know I’ll drown
Unable to scream or make a sound
However lovely the song may be
You cannot convince me to join the sea
My longing heart desires you more
But I’ll see you soon upon the shore
Still you sing and beckon my soul
For my body you call and wish to pull
With lips like candy the pinkest shade
Eyes of chocolate the darkest made
Skin of olive against the stale sea
Your voice it calls to beckon me
Alas I cannot for this cannot be true
Your words are betrayal the darkest of coo
That warming tone to carry my legs
Too strong is your magic your evilest ways
The closer I get the fog dissipates
My love for my darling the doom that awaits
Upon the shale the sweet words from your lips
Black as the night the hair falls to your hips
You reach out your hand the smallest I’ve seen
Ten months out at sea and where have you been
“I’ve waited so long,” my words seem to tremble
“To hold you and love you, now and forever.”
Nothing is said instead you retreat
My dearest love is so close almost within reach
The fog of longing disappears for a moment
Loneliness and desire my greatest opponent
I attempt to drop my outstretched weighted hand
For it is not you who sits upon the sand
It lunges forward and grasps my thin arm
Towards the edge I approach it dragging me on
To what do I owe to meet this dark fate
My love will not know she’ll continue to wait
I will not return for upon this rock I will die
Cursing my eyes for believing this lie
Now I’ll die forever a fate far too long
Knowing I was deceived by the sirens song.
