mythology

From the dark waves of the North she comes,
Shedding her guise to reveal a new kind of love,
Her dark eyes mysterious with hair that shines beneath the sun,
In search of passion that takes a different road.
Deeply intent she walks a rocky path,
Taking a form so different than the new found soul,
Arms entwined with a love she's never had,
The waves splash gently on the unknown shore.
Calling her back from whence she came before,
Sadness clouds her eyes as she turns herself back,
Empty expanse while her lover waits upon the sand,
Back in the seas she hears the wailing call.
She looks in dreams upon the life she wants to have,
A lover taken to her until the end of days,
Lives must change for happiness to be had,
Come unto me and live the dream she breathes.
Changing skin for another life,
Two joined in the deepest depths of passion and desire,
She looks beyond the divide and gazes at the shore,
As true love comes to her beneath the deep chill sea.

Quite an interesting subject for this piece. And way to go for the strong voice in mythological poetry - a lamentably seldom-essayed topic these days.
