Leila

by Yemaya

Leila sister spirit
love friend
a variety of garments
black skin
white skin

Holding hands
Cuddling
my head against your chest
I let go

you find me
restless
confused
you appease me

I run with you
through the forests
pausing for a bed of water
and up we go

Volatile spirit
you lure human
into your realm
forever holding them captive

Leila I follow you
jumping the bosquets
your mirage is my reality
ad infinitum
