lift a stone

---

I'm held ransom she's unscrupulously charming
her slender frame intense wired disarming
mermaid render too tame I'm slipping she's gone
upright cold sweat asphyxiating it's dawn
beyond return too late holding for the calm
pneumatically wrenching too naive this psalm
dressed covered shaved we chide the gate
stall the snap raven this tide must abate
reverse in time drunk myth unerring joke
also the physical mused revert so she spoke
jarred your life you're blind it's the smoke
yet visible to me you still are
under light of shining star
misguided time abiding stench of tar
reenter your world I'm dying craving the iron
your love's here captive crying follow the siren
