Wedded to the Sea

Updated: Nov 16

Wedded to the Sea 

 

Come with me to the drooping docks, 

I’m sailing far over the sea. 

I’ll probably end, it's my luck,

To chase the wind, in North Korea. 

 

A thousand tears are all I have, 

To remember us by.  And a 

Thousand smiles unloaded to docks, 

And drove off into the hills. 

 

One kiss, she kissed me once with fire, 

So, I kissed her back with ice, pulled 

By the ghouls who grab at my legs. 

To rudderless boats that shatter, 

 

The creeping doom that calls my name: 

‘Madman, Madman! You must row this 

Boat out blown by winds of dementia, 

Over the lonely edge of the Earth.’
