Naked and raw
Crawling on my knees
Burning and tormented
Lured here by a beast
I’ve walked so many miles
Sailed a thousand seas
Swept away in urgency
When I heard him call to me
I’m gravitating closer
To what, I am unsure
Urged by unknown power
Helpless to the lure
Dolphins swim beside me
Mermaids call me in
Sea monsters bite and gnarl
With giant toothy grins
My little boat is flailing
No defense against the sea
It breaks away piece by piece
Till all that’s left is me
I plunge deep into the blue
Releasing all control
To the waves of my desire
To his magnetic pull
Liquid blue embraces me
Swiftly it invades
Salty sea becomes my blood
Streaming through my veins
I wake in shores of lava
Embers glow beneath my skin
I’m a light of fire
Bursting from within
Reborn and purified
I sparkle like the stars
Burnt offerings of light
That were destined to be yours
