Another poem intended for my Endar narratives. This one is really structurally needing set in pre-formatted text for the visual aspect, which conveys whispered content for the left-most italicized portion as the other part of the poem is being spoken/sung.
softly, soft......follow me to the shadows deep
..........lost blowhere mermaids pass by in drunken sleep
..wind to my home as eels electrify each naked eye
..................while the waves above drift low then high
.......blow.......swim with me sweet, beloved dear
.............lost to music the harpies play for us here
...........i..one sailors to catch my glimpse would die
..................let us float 'til on the reef we lie....
..................lift your head, love, lift your heart
to i..............let the dark, vivid colors blend apart
....me here to me do not fear this water clear
..........see.....do not fear should we disappear....
..................what will be love with soft words gone
...............to what without your song does life become
....the un, un....to sink, to sing as we start again
.........known seaare you near my only friend?
..................allow me to be sad, to bitterly cry
waves.............allow this water to blur my eyes
......drift.......are you near....are you here.....
...........higher I swear I see your pitch black hair....
low sweet wind go bright summer sun
......to..........will I too be black when you are done
them all..........when the night slowly awakes
..................will it bestow sweet heaven's face
call..............the sea beneath my body flows
blessed...........so every thought within me goes
...........life i lost to that silence, dull to pain
..................one can but feel the heavy weight
there.............the sand is wet, lax and plush
..................sticking to my fingers like velvet gloves
here..............sharpness inside these lungs do sear
...my in..........so much water one has no tears
......in..........crying needs such vital breath
..................this for that love think not of me less
.............side of you my last view will surely see
..................to thee these dying words shall be...
come..............I had only thought to stay alone
.comenow comenow..now all places pale beside your own
..come come i i i I can't bear to know you're gone
..................will you come here....will you come?
