Small influences

Sweet Summer, 1912, John William Waterhouse 


Drawn to dark part of the garden
praying the Merlin Tarot
to bring a transformation
I disappear under the water spell…

Parts, defragmented
dancing in swirl
seduce the past
hell out of me

deep ~ deeper ~ …

the creature has a gun,
we talk:
“Where has you been
the last year?
The source of your
nourishment –
a dreadful kiss?!”
….

Oh, enough, not a plague…
the penny would cover
the bloody expenses…

I levitate…

    Very clever combination, as Gail says! It's very easy to disappear under a water spell...

    Love the dark enchantment of it. And anything dealing with Merlin is always risking

    That trickling water from the fountain is the cause of this. The creature clearly is jealous and my mind is playing with innuendos.

    The dark parts of the garden are always the most interesting..where the best stories are kept..i love how you've brought this painting alive..you capture her spirit..pay it off with a penny! Can learn a lot from that and lie back in the flowers
