Melucine from Nocturnes 1 by Jessica Ann Beveridge

Magic Melusine, creature cast a spell over me
Life in Aquamarine, where desires are free
A current rouses the deep and dark raging waters swallowing me
Shimura or real? No matter… I feel (I feel)

Overwhelm, Undertow
Surrendered to the soul song
From violent waves to saving grace
In love and death we'll find a way

The moon child pulls the tide, underneath a foreign world lies
I’d rather melt down into it, than freeze up cold inside
Rugged rocks crack open, my shell is scattered, bones are broken
Head and heart hit the ground
It’s Beauty that I’ve found (I found)

When I feel Overwhelm, Undertow
Surrender to the soul song
Violent waves, Saving grace
Love and death will find a way

Down Mariana heart racing, with glowing affection
Treasure, you I'm chasing, so bright a connection
Don't know you but love you, a silver thread hanging
Incentive to follow you down til I land there
Next to you I listen and wait and wonder
Electric sparkle and growing thunder
Storm out of control, on to me you can hold
Caught in a whirlpool, bound up in gold

It transcends all that I know, no start or end, part of a whole
And tears at the seams, pulls fear out at last
Pours ecstasy in, like liquid glass
Melusine
