The Darkest Waves of the Sea
The darkest waves of the sea
Rock the baby off to sleep
Ice cold arrows in the breeze
Too many, too early, death does reap
Six feet under, there does lie
Its mother’s life it now warps
Beneath a deep- water blue sky
An infant's cold cold corpse
None are left, there to save
So she runs, and quietly hopes
For that same- early grave
Or a gift- of necklace ropes
On another- befaten day
Alone she was cursed, alone she falls
A barren mother far away
Forced to follow her chil’s calls
Her baby’s body laced with tears
Salty water, its reside
Cold dead gaze, cloudy mirrors
Mother’s corpse right beside
Their spirits, though now roaming
Are still trapped beneath the sea
Mother crying, child moaning
They only yearn to be free
Slowly slowly they begin to rise
Maggots, under skin are lurking
Face of horror, light blue eyes
Nature’s cruelty on and working
Far above, the sky shines bright
Those alive still do play
None have seen the terrible sight
Hoping for eternal day
