There is another "Watery Sun" by another poet on Poetry Soup, but the idea of the title was mine and we both put out our poems on the same day.
A watery sun is on my mind -
the lovely one seen not long ago.
We were out on a boat in Monmouthshire,
and you had persuaded me to row.
The sun was going in decline...
It must have been around four o'clock.
I wanted to stay a long while yet,
but you said no, it is time to dock.
But as usual, I had my way.
(The watery sun dropped very low.)
Soon we were in darkness there.
Yes, a foolish darkness, don't you know.
It was my fault, I see it now,
that our day was not a happy one,
and every time I think of it,
I have in mind the watery sun.
