Love Tales, part II – The Restless Echo and The Mermaid Song

Posted on 3 min read 475 views

Of course, like all things, love also has a more mysterious and darker side. Not necessarily bad, more like a restless echo, which has the annoying habit of appearing when you least expect it, only to put you in a series of complicated moods. (We now know that complicated means mystical, naughty, possibly dangerous. The good kind of dangerous, if I may say so. This is why they come with a warning)  

Are you watching this from your side of town?
The way I skip fences and play with your crown.
When you stop and wonder, do you find me there?
Mixed up in your wild thoughts, untangled and bare….

Now, surely, if he’s watching this (from his side of town), he’s about to have an interesting night. With all that commotion going on in his mind, his sleep might become an unexpected way of tumbling down the rabbit hole towards the inner truths of being and the answer for the search of a lifetime, which, in short, is basically… me. Wearing a bitchin’ outfit, not this basic top you’re seeing in the enclosed pic.

I’m also super smart, so I’m talking to him in riddles, metaphors and give him a task at the end, just to keep things heated. (“Jokes aside, love, memorise it, look up, it’s written in the scroll bar. Yes, the name, my name, it’ll come in handy one day, you’ll see.”) Now, for the full rabbit hole experience:   

Decoding Us

The dreams you’re having lately
The strange ones, about me
Are only meant as guideline
To show you what can be
I know you’re scared, confused
Anxious to lift the veil
Just have a little patience
Till I get out of “jail”
No, not the real prison
I’m innocent, you see
But at a different level
The game is to be free
And I have faults and fears
Mirrors to overcome,
Boxes to step outside of,
Courageous to become.
Give me the time, my darling
And when you dream of me
Memorize like a password
The name I use as key.

I think I managed to draft a message truly for the worthy. To decipher, I mean. My part is mine and I began to check the list a while ago. Truthfully, it’s going rather slow… But don’t think for a second that just because I stumble, from time to time, upon my own shortcomings, that I’ve forgotten how it’s done. She is forever with me, the mesmerising singer, and she can’t resist a good dare!

I’ll sing to you if you wanna dance
But it’s a mermaid song, you know
Once you’ve opened the ears, you’re lost.
😳

I can understand if you get scared. You wouldn’t be the first. Oh, wait, when did I start to speak directly… never mind. There are times when ‘the worthy’ proves a little less keen to play in the big league and I completely get it. We don’t want the same things, some of us want it as easy as possible. Would like a swirling passion, but equally fear it like a tornado. I got no problem with those who choose to stay aside, I got fears of my own (as admitted in the lyrics), I know what that’s like. But don’t lie to yourselves, darlings, cause in the end, you’re the ones making awkward phone calls years later. And I’m bored with those calls, honestly…   

Eyes of Jade

I remember you, good sir
Full of promises and lies,
Cheerful like a nightingale,
Sparkling wonders in your eyes.

Where’s that sparkle now, my king?
What did you just trade it for?
Do come out and let it sting
Return to the time before.

Otherwise, you’re lost for good
Dusty, aged, bitten by doubt.
While the warrior craves blood,
Seeking ways to end the drought.

Easy life, just what you wanted.
Asked for it, hoped, even prayed.
Why on Earth would you be haunted
By my daring eyes of jade?
