She
Waves lapped over each other,
Crashed down with a thunderous sound,
Rumbling and angry she was.
Capsized boats and sailors dead bodies-
They were the victims.

Calm now, silence.
Waves danced alongside each other,
She was pretty today.

Deep depths and dangerous,
Blue and black.
Mysterious animals frolicked along the bottom.
She harbors the secrets.

She is the sea.
Still a beautiful enigma,
Dangerous as ever.

Hair on the brink of dying flames,
Eyes dark, lazy blue
Skin pale, hue only coming from drinking.
Intimacy not a ultimate goal.
Moody voice, hinted with Irish charm.
Dark, deep and light.
I lose the sense.
True love for literature,
Deep feelings for the myths,
Strong words for feelings.
First of all that I’ve talked to who talked with such beauty of interests.
Beauty of soul.
Then it changed, the intimacy I-
I harbor these feelings deeply now, years later
I cannot express them, aching and feeling.
Now I long for the same connection, only when  I’m drunk.

I would search a thousand mountains,
Walk through hell barefoot,
Endless suffering and torture; all for this faceless man I dream of.
Lifetimes that span a thousand years,
For the sake and touch of him.
For what the memory fails to show me in dream, I conjure up in day.
As the world moves forward, I am stuck in past.
Restless and needy for a man who doesn’t know it.
For a man who doesn’t exist.
But what am I,
A dreamer in the night, floating away from body, soul searching.
Or am I a ***** in the shadows, dark and moody.
The search has just begun.

Chilly air danced along my skin,
The candles whisper and dance an amber ancient song.
Even though this chilly night beseech the air sharp and cool,
My body still burned.
Still hot and angry.
The reason I do not know.
Then every so often my mind wander- longing.
No reasons come to mind why.
Finally, as my mind comes back from wandering, my eyes land on the candles once more.
The ancient dance I focus on.
The tiny flame warming me.
My mind.
My soul.

Spit spew from the *****’s mouth.
Snot dribbled onto parched lips.
Salty tears traveled down marble skin; dripping down chin.
Hands gripping onto the rope that bound her wrist together; ankles tied to the legs of the wooden chair, rubbed raw.
Her wail which was once loud and piercing, now low and of mumbled sobs.
White ***** sheet draped over her body soaked with, sweat, tears, spit, snot, and slobber.

What had she done to deserve this?
Who would pity the ***** who bore dark hair and marble blue eyes?
The woman who traveled across sea, she who mysteriously appeared in this small town.

She recklessly rocked in the wooden chair, back and forth.
Her wails and sobs did not stir the townspeople.
For they knew what she was.

Silence.

Her head hung. She was still.
She began to laugh, the chair began to shake, thudding against the floor hard. Loud.
She became hysterical. Now violent with her movements.

Watch her.
Do you see her?
Lifting off the ground and slamming back down.

Silence.
Raspy breathing. Heaving.
‘Morrow come she has yet to move.
Her breathing now shallow and loud.
Night fall; she slip rope and vanish.
Now only the moon know where the Red Woman travel.

The haunting melody of his name.
I cannot bear to tame.
So I bury his memory.
His character deep within the cold ground,
Skin silver void of life.
Eyes heavy with disgust; distant and hazy.
Dirt spilled over, covering his frame.
My thoughts are silent.
The haunting melody of his name.
The haunting gaze of his eyes.
I bury him deep and far away.

I travel sea,
with a name no one remembers.
I call out searching-
not a murmur is heard.
My boat is sinking; she is taking on water.
Deep within deadly things stir.
The sea is long. It is endless.
But I've only just begun.
