Lured Me To The Sea
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have seen them
They are real
I spent a night of pure ecstasy
On the surface of the sea
Stranded on a jagged rock
Battered and bruised
They lured me to the sea
And there they soothed me
They loved on me
Lavished me with tenderness
And soft caresses
They fed me and quenched my thirst
And I felt
A love no man had ever felt
They are real
I felt their flesh
on my flesh
Their warm lips on my body
Their warm bodies on my lips
And it was
Pure ecstasy
I have seen them
I've had their gentle hands on me
And their silken hair draped upon me
As they soothed my weary core
They pleased me effortlessly
And with ease of hand
I drifted away as I laid
Upon a jagged rock
Surrounded by the sea
They satisfied my hunger lovingly
They are indeed real
Sirens as they lured me to them
To the sea
And their soft, wet skin touched me
They smelled of the sea and
The sea breeze and I
Begged they'd stay
I Wanted to sail their waters again
But they left me there to live
Moving on as I slept
Exhausted, cold and wet
I was utterly spent
And as I sailed away
I saw them
They were real
And our love was real
Pure ecstasy
Love of land and sea
It was real
