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.
