Two Poems and One Song

[pagios]

What Price?

What price to gaze
At the stars at night?
To look upon the sky’s blue light
Luminous, open, and clear
To feel that depth, that purity
To be beyond all fear?
To walk with Dawn
To hear her song—
In each moment
The world is made new--
To feel only wonder
And beauty inside of you.


Four Women—To Meet With Me

The sylph woman says to me,
You must tell me lots of jokes
For feeling light and free
Is the nature of my being.

The mermaid woman says to me,
You must swim with me in the sea
For the essence of my being
Is water in innocence and purity.

The gnome woman says to me,
We shall walk among plants and trees
Each moment is pure enchantment
If you know how to see.

The salamander woman says to me,
I burn, I devour, I destroy,
But I make all things new
For my secret name is joy.


A Song--Beware of Mermaid Electricity

Beware of mermaid electricity
It is love of most unusual intensity

Beware of mermaid electricity
It is hunger and power
Love and freedom
Of the open sea

Beware of mermaid electricity
It is ecstasy flooding your body like a tsunami

Beware of mermaid electricity
No human being can produce this feeling

The bliss when your kiss her lips
No human being can long endure
Yet all armies on earth would lay down their arms
For the right to taste this
She is lightning, thunder,
The depths and winds of the seas--
A woman dancing in ecstasy

Beware of mermaid electricity
Her blue green eyes gratifies your deepest needs

Beware of mermaid electricity
The spray of a billion waves
Celebrate its beauty

Beware of mermaid electricity
It is divine fire
Crossing all boundaries

Beware of mermaid electricity
It binds the sky and the sea
All opposites unite in its beauty

The bliss when your kiss her lips
No human being can long endure
Yet all armies on earth would lay down their arms
For the right to taste this
She is lightning, thunder,
The depths and winds of the seas
A woman dancing in ecstasy

A woman dancing in ecstasy
A woman dancing in ecstasy
A woman dancing in ecstasy
