Sunken Pleasure
Illuminate her rusted locks
to strip her husk chagrin
as the water whipping silver spray
swirled heavy, pulls you in
This argyle blue is painful
'gainst your skin of yellow fall
to limbs bent thin of daisy stems
in an instant, rather small.
And yet you wish to join the fish
in their underwater parade
as nightfall casts it's meager light
on the plankton confetti cascade
Her hull is jewel bestudded
with a tanzanite chandelier
as the grief of pirate widows
she holds to her bosom dear
So tonight the twilight ball begins
complete with yearning violins
and dance you will as the lightning sings
and the ship crowns you as her ruin king.
