spin tales like sailors
fantastical sea phantoms
a sea maiden's song

I edited mine...sorry 'bout that...I got carried away...and the count was wrong...

a seamaiden's song
men linger on extra beats
sirens sing and sing

sirens sing and sing
i pause in the white tunnel
one last look at you

one last look at you
love gained a toe-hold again
the end of the end

the end of the end -
tail in mouth, the serpent smiles
at infinity

at infinity
so ready to take the plunge
I see myself perched

I see myself perched
like an eagle ready to
dash into the sky.

Dash into the sky
Equilibrium okay
Though the wings too small

Though the wings too small
yet I have a heart to fly
will surely do

will surely do for
a precious few moments of
unfettered blue bliss

unfettered blue bliss
I found in your eyes until
we fought and I lost

we fought and I lost
chanced to tear open old wounds
now seared with our tears

now seared with our tears
old love letters opened to
the light, requiem

the light, requiem
to the moonlight and the stars
sings low in the east

sings low in the east
of purple moon's departure
behind rain-drenched clouds
