your eyes are pearls drawn
they sing to me from deep beneath
any semblence of light
the water glimmers gold above
like the sun has has cast its lot
and waits for judgement day.
sweet and fair we call our loves
and sweet and fair they be
but when the knotted limbs grow rough
it's the sea that waits for thee
and take your crown of stars
and see it fits your head
for when the the stars come toppling down
that's all that shall be left.
more precious to me
than all the pearls in the sea
were your teeth, laughing.

Just quickly written; the last stanza is from an old poem.
