About This Poem
Womb of the Sea
Argh.. foul weatherin' clouds,
Wrath of watery shrouds.
Castin' a shadow upon the sea,
Waves crash, drownin', wretched me.
Clashin' swords, swashbucklin' blood spilt,
Ta the bottom I sunk, ta bed of silt.
Death has safe-harbored me,
Ta the deep blue majestic sea.
Be I a seafarer story ta chantin' bard.
Mine ship and crew spare naught regard,
Scurvy jackal's with yellow tail,
Harnessed the wind, set sail.
Abandoned ta watery grave,
A mutinous act I naught forgave.
Ne'er be one matey ta mourn,
This ole sea-dog capta'n be shorn.
Cradled in the womb of the sea.
Her cold embrace numbs me.
A siren's lullybye she whispered
The song, dyin' ta be heard
She be mine mistress true,
I hail naught kin or kith ta sail to.
In mine element, a fittin' death,
Inhalin' brine e'ermore, ta final breath.
