You are mine
I lay hidden in the long grass, watching
Her dress slid from her shoulders
Her milk white skin drawing me in
Slowly, she walked into the cool water
Sun glistening diamonds played
around the water’s surface
Her long black hair floated free, like seaweed
As she disappeared beneath the surface
Venus, vanished for a second
I held my breath, waiting for her to rise
To bless my eyes with her beauty
My mind telling me I should leave
This was her private moment
I couldn’t move,
she had been under too long
I needed to rescue her
Diving in I found nothing
Sliding beneath the water once more
Seeing little,
I felt a hand pull me further under
The water growing darker
Yet I could see her clearly
Her voice inside my head
“I knew you would come
Your soul is mine, as it has been
Throughout time.
We cannot live apart
We will surface as one…”
