Straddled between her legs
Her hands caressing my hair...
Fingers trailing fiery tracks along my chest...
Lips musing calmness to a rather stormy heart
Her mind beckoning mine to an inner world....
A world of bliss....of deep wisdom.....
Re-enacting the past.....
Flashing memories.....mistakes magnified
Regrets finally.....yes...regrets
The destruction I brought on the hinterlands......
Gradually eating through whats left of broken hearts
The curse of Poseidon still raging within their homes and within my hands
Rendering thoughts of any rescue to nought
Regrets and more regrets
What thus lies in the future...?
For this regret a thing too painful to move further with....
Then again, she shows me.....
Redemption only but a grasp away....
Far away from the hinterland....
Yet so close....can only be perceived by the minds of gods
RIddled with pain, denial....and ridicule
The floor to its path overlain by love......
Love so trampled on....and torn to shreds....but still lying in place
Offering its service.....no complaint slipping from its lips
Such a sad sight....a cause for sincere tears
And again, another supposed path to redemption
Filled with pleasures and happiness.....
Driving hearts to a drunken state to forever forget past pains
A new path....reflecting the lights of the sun
So beautiful....so alluring.....
Totally painless.....and still...redemption it offers....
A choice so easy in my childhood
Suddenly so difficult with age and supposed maturity
For what now.....losing the essence of who I know I am
Or to forever toil in pain....all in the name of love?
Then again, time dwindles....A painful smile streaked across Calypso's face
For she can only but show me these paths....
Where they lead and which to choose remain a burden for the captain alone
The dilemma of life.....Choices.....
Still waiting for acceptance.....
The two pathways to the future.....
For its now or never...!
