Cursed for "Love"

I'll let you interpret what it means...

We sit side by side,

Void from the rest of the world

At our blue lagoon.

 

You watch the water,

Midnight blue reflects into

Aquamarine eyes.

 

I watch those big eyes,

Portraying a clear image

Of our blue lagoon.

 

Your slender body 

Gently rocks you back and forth

Ever silently.

 

I watch your body,

How it sways with same motion

As our blue lagoon.

 

Your eyes could shine bright!

Just wear what I had bought you:

Big golden necklace.

 

Your slender body

in gold silk dress would boil blood

By our blue lagoon.

 

I'd pour my wallet

Out for you; please just give me

Your untainted flesh.

 

And yet you strive on

To harden your heart to me,

Not our blue lagoon.

 

It's hurts me to see

That my money's forsaken

For virginity.

 

An eighteen-year-old

Who, in all the world, morals

All copulation!

 

But I know I'll win.

We both know you can't depart

From our blue lagoon.

 

To make you "happy",

I'll point out grandfather clock,

Who's close to strike twelve.

 

Do I see a tear?

Yes, you will cry forever

Unless you choose me.

 

It's really a shame,

But you know what you must do:

In our blue lagoon.

 

You stare in the deep,

Knowing the same will happen

Every night I'm 'lone.

 

You finally jump,

And you're concealed by deep blue,

But I know you're there.

 

Finally, there's twelve:

Ringing clear, dolphin appears

In our blue lagoon.

 

I taunt the dolphin

Who has occupied your form

And now runs your mind.

 

I yell at you loud,

"You see? Your life will be spent

In our blue lagoon.

 

"That is, of course dear,

If you give me what I want:

Your untainted flesh."

 

Yet it is useless,

For dolphin just swims around

In my blue lagoon.

 

Don't call it witchcraft.

Tis used in the evil ways.

I cursed you for love.

 

If I can't have you,

I must make it absolute

That no one else can.

 

So, my girl by day,

A lonely dolphin by night

In my blue lagoon!

Kind of a Swan Princess mix-up. Hope you enjoy.

This was really good. The ending was unexpected from the rest of the poem. That is probably was makes it so good to me. I like to be thinking it was something and then at then end it is completely different. Good job with this poem.
