Seascape
by Sharmagne
Leland-St.John
Sea I love the
way you tremble
Like my lady
lost inside my arms
Lying spent
and sighing
Sometimes she
thinks
She might be
dying
Like a moth
who's caught
Between the
lampshade and the flame
"Hold me
tight", she whispers
Like the wind
that wraps itself around
The tall pine
tree
I cling I
cannot let her slip away
She is my love
She is who
tells me what I am
I am the
waiting shining sun
I am the moon
whose light
Will help to
fill the weary night
With rays of
yellow gold
Just like the
dawn of yesterday
Sea I love the
way you tremble
Your waves
will pound and crash upon the sand
Her tangled
auburn hair strand for strand
Will mingle
with the crystal tears
Your emerald
ocean sheds
My lady's
laughing sighing
Like a seagull
flying
High above
your breakers
Tumbling
towards the land
She takes my
hand and whispers
"Don't
let go. I love you so"
Sea I love the
way you tremble
Like my lady
lost inside my arms
Lying spent
and sighing
So like a
dying Queen
Between
The crumpled
sheets
