Merlin of the Midas

An ode to the legend of Merlin and his teachings

Merlin of the Midas
Slow like honey you pour on me
with the eyes of a lion's need
Glued to your floor, hungry for more,
you wash away every decree

Oh Merlin of the Midas touch
licks my fingers, as such, a rush
of golden lava, juicy guava
drips and drains me of my despair

It is sweet and magical, can almost taste the honey, love the idea of sweetness draining me of my despair,

Thank you, Paddy. With this one, I pictured a lady, Vivian, in lust of the learning her elder, mentor and master, Merlin. I imagined the dripping honey as a metaphor to the way he teaches her - slowly, and yet she is very hungry... And it pays off... He makes her see things in a whole new light... I very much appreciate your kind read and review.
