Siren

A poem

Diamond mind
but you're so quiet
ripple into your atmosphere
my heart starts to riot

You look at me
and the surface dissolves
every heavy thing
sinks down and resolves

You've got a... s l o w
and delicate touch
I never knew the ocean
could burn this much

Scale on skin
my heart starts to race
tracing the gills
on your beautiful face

You whisper my name
like a secret... a sin
parting the kelp
that I've hidden within

It's a wonderful, dangerous
kind of serene
The sweetest submersion
that I've ever seen

Undertow
pull me down
in your devotion
I wanna drown

You've got a hold
an unspoken command
forget the shore
forget the dry land

Just keep me forever
Take me under
You, me, and the ocean
a world filled with wonder

Sexy and slow
abyssal eyes
here my whole world
submerges and dies

We're glowing in the dark
where the sun can't reach
miles away from
the sand and the beach

Your hands are like water
Your lips are like salt
spinning in currents
with no stop or halt

Iridescent liquid
melting into blue
I'm evaporating
right into you
