Lady In The Lake

by Sylvia   Mar 23, 2009


Moonlight,
glistening
on a
mirrored surface.
Water rippling.
my hidden lake.
Place of refuge,
mesmerizing,
hypnotizing.

Silhouette
of a face,
my lady in the lake,
materializes.
Exquisite, incredible
beauty.
Beckoning,
"Come, join me."

Illusions,
sleepwalking.
Somnambulist moving
toward the
saccharine sound
of her voice.
Commanding,
attraction drawing me.
Wanton disregard,
resistance forgotten.

Devouring me,
the lady in the lake,
a succubus.
Awakening, satiated.
Uncertainty overtakes me
fantasy, illusion, reality?

    I sure saw a lot of great things throughout this poem. Some alliteration, some wonderful word choice, and some great imagery as well. You've penned a really great piece here, it was a pleasure to read. :]

    This is a beautiful poem and a delight to read. Not keen on 'mesmirizing' and 'hyponitizing' bit, because it's been used a lot, and what you were saying was strong enough. I do however, like the vocabulary, particularly in the third stanza. The whole piece flows fantastically and the idea of 'refuge' was nice, you brought it to life. Well done.
