The first love for me It was always the sea. Being lovingly caressed Being slowly undressed By the deep oceans call. Being caught as I fall Into Kingdoms below. Where I flow Into gleaming ravines Into Davy Jones dreams. And on the network of tides I slide into rides And slip into waves Of mermaids and slaves. I glide upon stallions Sail in lost galleons And float in with the breath Of those swallowing death. As the seafarers are pounded As schooners are grounded. And sink into the deep In silence they keep The first love for me It was always the sea.
