Calypso Poem by Amera Andersen

Calypso

Rating: 4.8


On island cliffs of Ogygia I stand
Awaiting tall ships; approaching the land
Enchanting the mariners with a song
As I lull them to sleep, before the long

Be condemned to an absent existence
Sealing wax, be ye only resistance
So if by thy troth my music ye loved
And lashed to the mast so that ye be gloved

Thus I lull you to sleep, before the long
Capture your soul with my mystical song
‘Twas so; on this island all pleasures be
That my desire ‘twas a dream of thee

For the love of my song and my controls
I bid you good-morrow to all dead souls
