Dilemma of the Merfolk

Dilemma of the MerFolk

Two worlds sing us

A sirens song

And we are torn between:

Of Earth and Light

and legs running strong

Or tails that glide swiftt through night...

...Of Horizons moonbeam,

Sunshines fair stream

And hearts that beat

Fierce and true

Or...

Part warm, Part cold

With skin of gold

And tail of mossy scales...

Light and air!

And gardens fair!

... Depths of the Abyss

Men awake Longing...

Deeps pull our Desire

...To run, to laugh, to love, to kiss..

...To glide swif t through deaths deep byre

...Oh God! To dance!

Heart beating warm

Hot fire inside our breast

...With seduction to woo

With cold magic to lure

To tease men with phantom song…

Which am I?

Which is true?

Which will set me free?

To know ~ I must choose:

Or forever lose

My life to the Abyss

He calls to me

Yet I yearn to swim f ree.

One must tell a lie

Oh God save me

from this destiny

Give true Life to my desire.
