Charms



"Charms"

Just when you think 
you’ve worked it all out
the light splits it all apart

a million leagues 
into her 
you dive, want or not

into her ocean
there the ensconced 
bedded siren shell calls

like some holy font
pearls all opening
you dive, want or not 

into her 
cool and fathomless 
treasures contained and hidden 

waiting in her 
mysterious 
Pandora’s box

the deeper sea
in her 
calls you into her charms

transfixed 
want, or not
mesmerised

Just when you think 
you’ve worked it all out
the light splits it all apart

a million leagues 
into her 
you dive, want or not

Just when you think 
you’ve worked it all out
the light splits it all apart
