Love On the Planet Evon -Revised
The night descends quickly.
The bloody Evon’s moon rise
to its zenith leaving a red uneven path
on the choppy ocean surface.
Quickly I take my special pill
that will transform my legs into a tail.
Patiently I wait for her, tail splashing,
laughter ringing over the glassy sea,
my mermaid riding gracefully
over crested milky waves.
All lovers are asleep or hiding
to escape their fears that change
in the deadly night might bring. Not me.
Ah, she arrives and I’m in bliss.
We revel in the crimson Evon light,
surf giant white-tipped waves,
dive into the dark waters below.
We swim together, bathing off our cares,
the great Evon gives us strength.
The sea songbirds soar o'er our heads,
thrill us with their lovely lullaby.
The waves pound the spiky crags
adding their haunting symphony.
Then will my love sing her haunting ditty,
As I go into a rapture of unbound passion.
I love the sea, the salty sea,
Painted red with Evon's moon,
far from the clutches of the mighty sun
that burns and blotches my skin.
Let me glide down towards the seabed
below the inky surface and mingle
with fish and mollusks and mermaids,
especially the one I truly love.
This is perpetual bliss, paradise touched
To look over towards the far horizon,
isn't that our wishing star
shooting across the inky skies?
