Dalliance She sings her sordid siren song Sweet serenade escapes her lips It shakes a shimmer in my ear For which I'm (rightfully) ill-equipped Her soft scent lingers languid Lying faithfully and drained In the confines of our revelry I sense we are the same She aches for just one glimpse From his wandering, weathered eyes As I ache for some resistance To the magnetism of his mind Yet bestow upon her he will not His righteous sea of bluegreen Lest she succumbs to the undertow Of a life (lived) less pristine O the eyes of one who's suffered Dark radiance in their might Pierce the strongest warriors senseless Vivid fright amidst delight Yet, in good faith, she surrenders His faint whisper so serene Obedience the mighty wave That wipes her soul clean A sea of blue green rising Under the midnight moon she soars But in the quiet breath of sunrise It is I who takes the oar Battling to and fro the storm I'm convinced I am the stronger Bobbing buoys in the midst He'll (simply) heed who lingers longer Atop an ocean we've been thrown Two, idle and forlorn How strange our ships have not collided On our journey back to shore 2009 #KaiteePage #poetry #poems #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers #poetryofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #kaiteepagepoetry #kaiteepagepoem #dalliance #katiepage #katypage #kaitee #words #writingcommunity #writing #nashvilleartist #lunic #lyrics (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/COYL8E6n_cL/?igshid=1k7xiink4oo6j
