Her eyes are cast to the rocks,

Her mood shifting with the wind

Her dress blows in the sea scented air

As she grips the rails between white knuckled fingers

She gazes out wistfully

At the beautiful ocean blue

A bright white light shines across the sea

Bringing ships home safely with its yellow glow

She misses him

Everything about the boy

From his pale, golden speckled eyes

To his contagiously, energetic spirit

She wishes his return

Wistful for his company

She prays for his safety

That he may return soon

Suddenly her fingers gain a chill

As a sharp wave sprays her still form

With icy blue droplets

Of blisteringly cool, salty water

A gasp of shock escapes her

Through blue chattering lips

She tumbles over the old, rickety rails

Into a mass of sharp pointed rocks

She flails her limbs wildly

Her hair blows back from her face

And her heart begins a fevered race

As the rocks grow ever closer

A scream slips from her lips

Just as her eyes slip close

And the rocks collide

With her fragile, shimmering skin

Her heart stops its hurried thumping

Blood stains the granite a crimson color

Chattering, blue lips let out a strangled cry

And she whimpers one last time

As the angel of death takes her soul

He holds on

As the ship begins to tilt

Though his hands are red and raw

His lips turning a brilliant blue

While his teeth chatter from the bitter chill

His only hope is to stay aboard

So he might return home

In the distance shines a light

With a girl standing in its shadow

He imagines her sweet smile

And sugary laugh

He sees her bright, silver rimmed gaze

Roaming in his mind's eyes

Just barely he can see

Her luscious long hair

Whirling in the stormy wind

And her name forms on his lips

He lifts his hand to wave

Letting his lips tug up into a smile

But he loses his grip

And slips from the deck

Icy cold water hits his face

It attacks his skin

And floods through his mouth

Closing off his air way

He flounders under the water

Fighting to find the surface

A rope wraps around his foot

Just as his fingers break the waves

Air hits his lungs

But only for a second

Before he is tugged back under

Into a dark, icy grave

He claws at water desperately

As he begins to sink down deep

Into the depths of the ocean blue

Where his throat starts to burn

His lips open just a crack

And water floods in

Lightning fast

He lets out a watery cry for her

As the angel of death claims his soul

Now he floats down deep

Somewhere under the sea

Now the waves come up

And take her out to sea

We hope against all odds

That these two

Love struck sailors

Find each other again one day

Somewhere under the sea
