My Dear Calypso

You must have thought your eyes betrayed you

just the way the Gods had done

All alone for so long

I can just imagine

I probably would have thought

that he looked just like an angel

to you he probably looked just like a man

You must have been a welcomed sight

As he slept so peaceful on your breast

I'll bet you traced each line across his face

I't must have felt a bit like heaven

I can just imagine

 

And I can't help thinking of you

 

You must have died a million deaths

as that ship sailed out of sight

Would forever ever end?

I can just imagine

I probably would have cried

I'd have have closed my eyes and deep inside

I'd have found him there

I'd have made him mine

I'd have loved him to the end of time

 

My dear Calypso

there's something you don't understand

you've never been a woman

and you've never loved a man

you may have held him all those many nights

gave him all you had

you even saved his life

but you never took him deep inside

Dear Calypso, Goddess, Child

you never held his heart

you never made his dreams your own

or you'd have built the ship that took him home

 

 Signed,

Penelope
