Sea Quest:

[billy]

a really old write than people can go to town on (i know how bad it is so real honesty won't hurt me you bastards.) on a serious not. i did an edit come reworking and it wasn't much better. my intent is to get this bugger as good as i can. it's here because it would be a mockery to place it in serious. and i couldn't get solid feedback in mild or novice. (the first person to say "put it in the for fun forum will be shot )

Sea Quest:

On gently rocking boat I stood
in swell of turquoise sea
I fell or jumped, in ocean deep
Sirens aria plagued my mind

icy waters, stole my very breath
darkness crept, within a tortured soul
thoughts to life had left my heart
until I saw your angel face appear

kiss you gave with tender lips
replenished me with life
silken darkness of your hair
framed elfin featured face

startled, I saw your lower form
streamlined shape, aquatic in its grace
seamless colours shimmering hues
of sunlight, dappled eerie blue

with smile you touched, dispelling fear
which lay unclothed within a beating heart
enchanting echoes, swirled in lyrical delight
sweet voice, caressing with passions song

I gazed with adoration, as my eyes beheld
resplendent colour, dance on satin skin
from alabaster torso, to curve of pearl smooth breasts
adorned with golden tints of flowing hair

held captive by angelic charm of smiling face
you bade me follow, grasped my hand
diving deep, escorting dolphins led
taking leave from usual dolphin play

down we plunged, into deep blue bright
lichens luminessed with muted greens
giant clams lined seabed paths like living jewels
iridescent, smooth to eye and fingers dance

copse of purple fronds, swayed in unison
silvered sea anemones, a living undergrowth
whilst I marvelled, at this wondrous scene
deft flick of sensuous tail, left me feeling incomplete

your return, heralded by myriads of creatures
cavorting playfully, you serenely swam to me in grace
in your hands, a harp of fine tooled narwhale horn
you played, told me wonders of your under-water world

I heard your words, as they transfixed me to the core
tales of how in eons past, from co-existence with my kind
grew a cancer, in psychopathic minds of men
that drove you to seclusion, hid you from their eyes

as hours passed, you taught me purity of love
your tail brushed like satin, against my flesh
soft kiss you laid upon my lips, unleashed my soul
I had to leave or lose all vestige of the man I was

three years have passed, in ridicule I told my tale
was scorned by those who have no heart or mind
so with hope of finding love once more
I stand on deck of boat and call my lovers name

no more a want of fellow man, my void they cannot fill
would that I, could give these legs as token to my want
without regret of what I lose, without remorse or sorrow
I give this worthless life of mine, accept or let it pass

dark enshrouds me, I sink... fire fills my chest
heartbeats pound a slower intermittent beat
if price of life I pay, is less than cost to love
at least I knew the beauty of your caring soul

lightness, it is you my queen
my legs… no my tail! I am, as you it seems
in nights of torment have I dared to dream
that you would deign to save, an anguished soul as me

be silent, let me cradle you too life
let strength replenish all you are too me
could denial of such courageous love be mine
how can I deny such sacrifice of heart
