I watched her and though it seemed
I was so despaired to remain unseen
She stood there on the starboard deck
Her brow furrowed in retrospect

I thought to break the silence with a poem
Approach this lady with words a flowing
But neither my heart nor mind could conceive
Of words that she could honestly receive

There I stood in silence afraid
Of taking a chance or making a mistake
She turned almost as if she was a ghost
Gliding across the deck past my post

But as she passed with her dark eyes
I found I was suddenly surprised
By the girl with dark blond hair
Like a specter she vanished in to thin air

The boat trembled violently
And sent me overboard flying
Deep into the salty brine
To drown in the depth of my mind

Tossed across the water rough
Beaten and broken like fragile stuff
My bones cracked beneath the force from
The thrashing water and fierce storm

Yet as I fell deeper and deeper into the storm
Though my body grew weak my heart felt warm
A hand caressed my battered and bruised skin
Sweet sympathies from a lover and a friend

I saw her deep dark eyes
A mystery I wondered how could she fly
She whispered into my ears
My dear beloved forget your fears

Thus I sank deep into the sea
Yet while I fell she comforted me
