MERLIN & THE UNDINE

Drenched in the liquid

Of your voiced poetry

I am transported

Battling in a waterfall

Of mellifluous words

Transformed

I am become Undine

Paddling playfully

Atop curl of wave as the melody crests.

Flirting with caresses

While the words

Pool

And slide away

As the poetry like a river

Claims the hills as a right of way.

I am Undine

Swimming deep

Where light is unknown

Where ears are more precious

Than eyes ever were,

With words

As my only guide

Drenched in the liquid

Of your voiced poetry

I am become Undine

Adrift in a dream

Where the words and I are one.
