In the underworld
Beneath bellowing breadths
In weighty waters
In disorienting depths

Thats where she lurks
Completely unseen
The siren
With a seductive gleam

In a room full of men
Of brawny size
Winning smiles
And confident eyes

If they all had wit
And clever charm
Were gentlemen
Who’d offer a girl their arm

And if they were all
Impeccably dressed
Suits and ties
Their formal best

Intelligent
With a high IQ
In a room full of men like that
I’d still look for you

She’s acting aloof
Not revealing her best
She’s got a good hand
Her cards are pressed to her chest
She’s got her eyes on you
With a winning poker face
You won’t know what hit ya
When she reveals that ace

I’m closing up my heart for the night
I’m locking the doors,
But please know, I’ll always leave a light on for you
And a spare key hidden under the mat
If you ever are ready to come stay
In the home that is beating your name
With its every thud in my chest

As he speaks
Sun light dances on the wind
And my heart fills with divine light
Ribbons of breeze thread themselves into my hair
And I am free here in this secret place

I used to be afraid of wolves
Until I realized I am a lion
