Caught (Legend of the Selkie)

by corinna-parr

I can't help that she calls me, love. You've said yourself, she was a jealous mistress. I'm well quit of her, and she of me, though she still calls. *...oh but her body hides sweet pink flesh and the salt, the salt on my tongue...* I've never regretted a night Spent here with you, you know that, love. There are things a mistress can't give, And you've given them all to me. *...oh but she's wet and in her I'm slick with me, she didn't crash, but flow...* Why doubt your own gifts? The bread of your body, This home made with four hands, And the children, our love made real? *...oh but we are froth together and moonlit dancers, fast, slow, bound...* I've never looked back and I'll always come when you call. *...but I always look back always come...*
