The pool

Your shadow holds my bones

Diving into the warm pool of your arms

Feather touch,burns my soul

Emotions spiral me to Sargasso calm 

Crystal waters wash me

With the hands of mermaids

Sirens calling me to the deep

Wrapping me in ghostly silken thread

Holding me down until I drown 

Satiated, by your breath,

Hanging in the air as gasps of gossamer

Paralyse my senses and leave me only wanting more

Greedily sipping all you have to gift to me

Stopping the war, starting the peace,

Releasing the lions, that rage within me

Casting out the dark, bathing me in evening sun.

With new life begun.
