Ondine
Ondine
Ondine ...you are untamed Tonight
A yielding Lover….You held me long before I was born.
speak to me with the language of Dreams
A Mystic Bridge between the Light and Mystery.
You Summon….then RAISE
The Storm ,
the War
and the Distance between two colors
Naked in your Beauty only in the darkest of Nights …
with no will of your own
. let flow the Waters of Life against the Sky...I am soundless Gray
as you rise from this ocean…a Myth…then a Woman
You do not choose to create or destroy
but Heal with a cold and wicked heart.
I am Criminal… Suspect …Always in chains… the fury of creation
In the waters that give life.
Your Dance hidden, The Song unheard My prayer is silent against empty Cathedral Walls
Of your Bones.
I suffer your Love and become immortal then die in your memory
I am Reborn again and Again…Creating Myself from the Ashes
Then leaving only Ashes
You do not give Birth...but only plant the seed by casting
the dimmest of lights,
against the waters,
against the shadow that is me.
