Singing softly of the muse
You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever
But you rode on to the violence of the sun
And the colors of the sea blind your eyes
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips
And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise sea
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea
Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide
I want you to be free, but is it free?
Your sorrow that has made a slave of me
I wish to know how to keep you
You rise like a tide in my oceans
And you shine like the moon over them
But you darken the sky when you leave
Forgive me, but you are all I know
The day is breaking now, the earth is dry and torn
I know you're tired from the violence of the storm
I love you, and you are all I know
The sadness in your eyes has made a slave of me
Without you I seem to lose the power of speech
Without you, I am nothing at all
I feel you slipping slowly from my reach
You grow within me like an evergreen
You've never seen the lonely me at all
Let the wind and ocean water
Wash away a thousand memories like sand
She serves the smooth retsina
She keeps me safe and warm
Call in my reservation
Far out in the wilderness
The woods, the hills echo a voice
A voice calling me to come closer
To embrace the mysteries of nature
To know her deepest secrets embedded within
Nature - the immortal beauty
Like nymph Calypso with all her charms
Tries to imprison me forever
The insatiable desire
The greedy need, the want
What is it that I crave for?
This is the question I ask myself
When alone or amongst people
I feel there is depravity within me
You may call it a vice
It is my simple fancy
Of having you forever with me
To be a part of my mornings and evenings
And to make my nights more desirable
I am no saint, but an average being
With ruling of heart and not mind
This time
You will me to name it
It comforts me and makes me feel
And when your fingers find her
She drowns you in her body
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter
Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
