Ursula Rucker: Circe

On Groove Salad, a on-line ambient station I listen to on iTunes, has a relatively short playlist… much like commercial radio.

One of the pieces I recognize is Ursula Rucker – Circe (Jazzanova remix)
(heard in “King Britt feat. Ursula Rucker – Circe (Jazzanova remix)”) which is a spoken-word / poetry piece set to ambient music.

For a retro feel I should get a beret and angrily scribble things in a notebook while sipping bitter expensive Italian coffee.

Actually I’m pretty close to that anyway. How about a blog instead of the notebook? No beret though.

I´ve watched you for so long,
I must have you.

Sirens have nothing on my song,
my song is ageless
and perfect.
Angels envy my song,
you must be strong,
to resist this

I´ve seduced men, You thought were myth.

Gods have murdered mortals over me,
they died with my name on their lips
my tastes, on their tounges.

My love is the only one…
You need

Come rest your earthly burdens on my breasts,
You´ll find them firm like virgin,
Irresistible, like goddess.
My breasts are filled with neptune´s nectar,
one sip and you´ll be mine.

I´ll sink into your sea soft skin
were your fantasy begins

Don’t fight, You´ll never win.

I know,
My hair is mesmerizing.
It reflects the colors of suns rising
and set,
You´ll never forget my wet,
wonder…

come under.

My kiss will keep you safe,
what seem to you like minutes
In my world are endless days,
ride my waves,
of pleasure…

forever.

Your human hands like magic
pull on coral strands
as our bodies melt into the sands of the ocean floor,
I´m deep into your love

But wait,
my seduction
has now become a dangerous attraction.

I can´t breathe,
I´m drowning in your love,
drowning…
save me,
I can´t breathe.
I..
I can´t breathe.
I’ve got to save myself.
I´m losing myself in your love…
I’ve pleasured all of you so many times.
One of you.. please save me.
I´m drowning…
Who…
Who are you?
And…
And why are you saving me?
He said:

I´ve loved you from afar with a child´s heart
and a man´s longing,
I know you better than you know yourself.
Better than any man, myth or immortal.

I´ve watched you seduce for centuries
In the search for a creature who could please,
you

fire your desires,
who could have never made you happy
you would have died in this world.
too cruel
too cold

I´ve waited for this moment
to swim off into the current with,
you

Don´t be afraid,
your search is over.
That´s all you need to know

swim with me

off into the current.
swim with me,
love with me.

don´t be afraid,
swim with me.
love with me.
