Long and deep in a dark cavernous cave
My love calls to me from the grave
In whispers soft of an obediant slave
My love calls to me from the grave

In the frigid cavernous funeral keep
Down deep into the stoney tumbling heap

Walking slowly in a trance-like sleep
Toward the rocky pyre slick and steep

------I stumbled upon my waiting love

His glazed parlour of seafoam pale
Like the color of his crashed canvas sail
his lanky caress falling upon my throat
like the broken timber from his sunken boat

------floating on the crashing waves and stormy sky

Stumbling into his arms opened wide
His damp wetness encircling me side to side
With sunken eyes bloodied and dried
There was my love to whom none I did confide

I've waited so long for you by the sea, I cried!
Til the salty water wept for me and all my tears had dried.

A Decayed fleshy hand emerged from the murky mire
Something burning within it like a tiny fire
I found a trinket of silver I did once desire
In the shape of a heart I found in this dismal pyre

Dreams drifting amidst the tide and ocean mist
Through miles in my mind of memories missed

Sweet moments where beneath the moon we kissed
Now all that remains lies in his rotted wrist

Too quickly the tide pushes in
I close my eyes and let my dreams begin
As my finger traces his whitened skin
We float away into the murky din

I answered his siren call
From his crash and deadly fall
Gasping for breath I now grab and crawl
Til all that's above air is my fringe shawl

Dancing above the waves with the tendrails of a squid
Our ocean dance has just begun where our bodies our now hid
Away from time and pain and all that may forbid
We will have our way with what time undid.
