A Fisherman's Tale

A Fisherman’s Tale Out o’gloom, her pale siege comes to menace our humble dwell I look to celeste fix, yet no stark smile to traverse me So I grip my girl, now graceful, as she slides in churn swell My girl’s effete bones shiver, I hold hand tight, she begs flee ‘No my love’, so steel she plough’s on fierce, ice slapping her cheeks I plea for celeste fix!.... yet no stark smile to traverse me Enraged, her howls come screaming! shakes my lass ‘till skin comes weak I say ‘be farer my girl’, shy, she tries turn forth our scow ‘No my love!’.... so bold she ploughs on fierce, ice slapping her cheeks Her fury hurls, first flot then ice floe… splints… fly from loves brow! Marred…. lets cry! bones cleft, I whisper ‘we have each other now’ I say ‘be brave my girl’, so steel, she try’s keep float our scow I slide aged hand across my beautiful salt licked bough Out o’gloom, her pale siege came, broke apart our humble dwell Marred tried ‘vain, bones cleft, I whispered…. ‘we have forever now’ So I sooth my love…. now peaceful…. as we slide in churn swell.
