The Sea Loves Her

Literature Text

She wears a wreathe
crafted from seagrass and kelp
on the crown of her head,
draped with luminescent bronze hair.

She wears a chain of pearls
each glossed with illustrious nacre,
a single string of thread holding strong,
with a lone abalone shell, burnished to perfection—
no, beyond perfection.

Just like her.

The sea loves her,
nearly as much as I,
and is unwilling to relinquish her;
unwilling to let her be mine.

She wears a gown of Adam's ale,
and by God, she wears it well.
It cascades slowly down her body,
and my eyes can't help but follow,
a prisoner to her spell.

But she's proudest of the heart she holds,
my heart she carries in her wake through the deep.
And it will stay with that eternal wake;
with her forevermore,
until I fall to an everlasting asleep.

The sea loves her,
so much less than I,
yet is greedily holding her,
unwilling to let her be mine.

So I will go to her.
