Marooned

You could tempt me to go too far
with your promise of adventure.
Your mood could change in heartbeat
you could harm me – you have done before.

There is always a journey
a line that grows on the horizon
the tug of the moon on the tide
an island to plant my flag on.

You are pulling me like a memory.
You could charm me, you always do
onto some miniature Odyssey
from Ithaca, in my canoe.

The lure of your Sirens’ song
a journey from which I may not return.
