Poem
Ah! shipmate obsession with blonde pleasures but treachery’s buried in treasures feminine gold a flute a lyre voices honey dipped in danger temptation burns Hades flames on sunset waters sea-devils those she-devils salty tear sweet ooh songstress sisters just a taste a kiss on lips that set fire to desires with song my sailor’s appetite hungers for heaven whet by curves wet and flowing with fanned betta fins ship's mainmast in full sail filled with chanting gales to get there find her to possess her love her lessons of unholy lore lost to forbidden allure tidal surge drives male urge upon damsel-damned rocks the scree will drown my sinking screams sea-bed romance a myth in breath less murk oh songstress trio so fluid so corrupt flute a primal plea lyre a trembling snare hymns those wind-songs committing mortal sins fallen angels’ sea-mist-sigh a lyric doom to die where black waves undulate with serpentine virgins entranced by wooers weavers of wind and wave a sailor’s fate awaits escape in vain my bane their sunlight tresses turned a seaweed tangle I’m wrapped in temptress threads before I’m dead— cold embrace of death in shallows' greed swallows me gull a laughing witness fades in clouds knows my seaman’s crossed bones will brine opiate of the sea my soul’s shipwreck their ecstasy pulse of blood drunk with lust a poor warrior against underwater rush and underworld quicksand
