Kendra The Sea Maid Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I. He moves silent like the wind on a moon less night. Wine women and song taking freely that, is his delight. Eyes that mesmerize, dark as coal Gazing too deeply can steal one’s soul. Skin full of warmth and tan Liken to the tropics and Jamaican sand Women adore him, for his velvet smile. Men scorn him, for leaving them breathless mile upon mile. II. No one knows his name, For deception is his game. He plays them all like a pipe’s song Then just as quickly he sails on. He has broken many a heart, both young and old He is not one to have or to hold. For his one and only love is me The wide vast expanse of the sea. III. “Oh daughters of Poseidon, pearls of the ocean I offer myself to thee in deepest devotion! All I do ask in return You give me safe sojourn, Calm wave and tide With your sweet song of lullaby.” IV. “These words you speak are unknown of.” “They are more than words, they are love.” You give your life to the sea?” “I give my life, only to thee.” “You are mine O’ Dark Prince Of Plunder, And I shall have you and no other!” Inspired by Captain Siren Of The Poseidon ©Shana L.
