Transformation
Bright sun, blue sky and the crystal clear sea
Suntanned people on the beach, as happy as can be
Eating vanilla ice cream, laughing, at play
Small dots of innocence, behind me, far away
Following the mirage of the Seemann's beauty
I have swum out too far to return
He's a dancing light on the water, my heart for him yearns
A shining luring shimmer, my lust is his booty
Beneath me the dark, deep green fathomless sea
Pulls at my feet, I let go and sinking I see
Submerged though I am, there's still air to breathe
My body to the gods of the sea I bequeath
Greedily they take it, the reward quickly follows
As I am sucked into the deep and wet hollows
His voice fills my lungs, he is me, I am him
The world warm and bright that before was so grim
...
I emerge, my lungs burning, is it still the same air?
Are these my hands, my timid little heart, is it still there?
My shedded skin slowly dissolves in the water
Amazed, frightened, delighted I find myself altered
With strong, even strokes I swim back to the shore
The innocent adult children at play I ignore
I look for you, long for you and your gift
While drowned in my deep dark desires my heart is adrift
I'd love to be a gentle caress, whispering feathers on your skin
I want to be a firm smack, dry warm wood on your flesh rosy with sin
I long to be a thunderbolt whip, bursting your flesh into sparks, stars and flames
Pinwheels spinning in you up as you obediently call out my names
Into the whirling maelstrom, once your body, you'd pour shame and fears
Your shouts of painful lust dissolve in the salty water of your tears
I'd be your vessel, your captain, your eye of the storm
And your embracing, receiving loin and womb, caring and warm
This is very good and is very beautiful!
I don't write often, and rarely in English, usually I write in German, sometimes poems, sometimes short stories
I'm really happy you like it
Me being speechless is a good sign, don't worry.
The poem even got three favs, I'm positively surprised
And wondering what they read into it
