Seduced By the Sea

We played by the sea, come swim with me you shouted, I was frightful so very doubtful, she looked happy free, splashing, full of glee sun shining, water mistrustful though delightful, where are you, not sure, I’m planted on seashore panic filled my being, your beauty I’m not seeing lack of courage I deplore, your safety can’t ignore my heart is racing, find myself in water swimming, it’s certainly apparent, I’m taken by your strong current I find myself lifelessly spinning, constantly turning consciously it’s self evident I’ve become your servant, mocking with your waves, enticed into watery graves seduced now at your mercy, you show no courtesy your power totally enslaves, my body now craves life not controversy, though you’ll end my life early, I see your psychopathic smile, I submitted to your lie so now within your heartless merciless beauty I die. 6/20/2018
