Mariner's Request
A lonely, dying Mariner, having his final talk with the sea.
Mariner's Request belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical and The Word TreeDear beloved ocean, my heart doth long for thee
Cerulean swells on depth of endless sea.
Sweetest salty mist, as feathered wings on breast
Currents swell and laugh, from creamy foame’d crests.
Enchanting be thy breath, brushed with zephyr’s bliss
Lips a whisper wait, seductive briny kiss.
Languid mantle green of emerald satin fair
Tangled tendrils wave as sultry maiden’s hair.
My lady’s subjects soar, crying out thy praise
As loyal to thee here as night is to the days.
Luscious kingdom blue; thy gentle ways do keep,
Fairest lady grant to sinners what they reap.
Justice done to those, that have not reverence shown.
To the ships a tatter; the howling gales blown.
Writhing fury white, such foamy wrath you wield,
In wake of seething rage; such sailors’ fates are sealed.
Restored thy peaceful bliss, my mistress ever wise.
Rainbows grace thy breast, so sensuous your eyes.
Endless waves do break such lusty passion roars
Whispered temptress touch, stroked o’er the velvet shores.
Crystal lady fair, my heart yearns pure and true.
Too long we’ve been parted, I thus return to you.
Sea hawk’s wailing cry, give courage in thy breeze,
See me now dear mistress, on weary bended knees
Your haunting calls I’ve heard, they cannot be denied,
So glorious this life when you’ve been by my side
Thus one final request: Entwine my soul with thee,
I wish to be as you; please set my spirit free.
