The pale sands shadow your skin The moon’s light bares you no justice Its shine is nothing compared to your eyes Nor does the ocean beside me, twinkle greater than they do The goddess of the night waits atop her throne Eyes that pierce the clouds and space itself With the face that sent many ships to the deep of the ocean The heart and mind to mend and destroy You are my Helena, my Calliope, my Cassiopeia, and the River Queen Cleopatra The waves splash my feet, my love My boat is bound for lands dangerous The white sand grips my feet, and I grip back I wish not to leave you my goddess Wait not for me, Lunar Matriarch For I shall not return alive Leave my body afloat dear Gods Let my ship burn, my men die I shall never see this beach or my Aspen Harlot afterwards.
