*The Wave*
Elusive like Pacific tides, you are,
A fleeting wave I like to chase in vain;
And when I think you close, you're oceans far,
My love, my dream, my fantasy and pain.
I dwell in your mystique, Ulysses' lair,
I pick your shells on coral laden shore,
Re-living our ill-fated love affair
and remnant feelings that I can't ignore.
Poseidon, splash me with your azure wave,
Like Aphrodite, cover me with foam ~
Your Mermaid will remain your faithful slave,
the bottom of the sea once more my home.
Your sea-green spume appeal entices dream
of faithful heart aglow in lovers' beam.
