Swirling wide a Trident of colour
Shades of blue, aqua and the deep dark
Crested with white froth
Above and below shimmering in
Shades of Blue so much the same, yet so different
Hiding a Temptress unpredictable in grief
Calm and serene one moment
The next a raging storm or danger
Who are you Temptress of the deep?
Your moods unpredictable or cruel
Yet your love deep and plentiful
You give and you take on a whim
Your sweet lips lavishing sweet
Kisses to the skin and face, or
Framing fierce teeth that rip life
From the crest of a wave
Dragging it into the depths of your keep
Deep into the depths of your despair
Where you hide from those you love
Your wings span the girth of this world
Shielding its life from harm
Yet who shield your soul, Temptress?
You rise from the deep each time
The Sun King lash out in anger and longing
For his Moon Queen, their yearning
For each other’s love embrace
Each time he lash out in anger
You rise form the deep and wrap your wings
Around the girth of this word
Taking the blows of the Kings anger
Their sadness an echo in your soul
With each Eclipse you rise to ride
The crest of the shimmering blue
Heads rose watching in yearning
As the king and Queen come together
For that brief moment in time
Each time you cry, the rain hides your tears
And your Painful cries of desperation are
Hidden by the raging storms that lash the blue
Each soul feels the sadness of your longing
In loneliness many heads break the blue
To claim the lives riding the crest of white
Dragging them into the deep in the hope
They would ease the loneliness of your keep.
Yet their terror ease and life still,
Their souls parting to ride the spiral flow
Of the Tridents song and reach
Temptress what is it you seek?
Are you destined to stay alone in your keep?
