The Sea Is Ever With You
Your Irish eye infallible
As far as vision goes
Like emeralds on Spanish galleons
Down the sea they go
I see you thirst for harbors
Distant shores and seas
Average are the mountaintops
Incomparably
I see the sails in your eyes
The gossips of the past
The lids to often now sweet one
Are hanging low half masked
And oh, your Gallic trophy
The smile the Louvre can say
Is equal to Mona's'
In a breathing, living way
If gaudy jewels could say
What pen or quills can't do
Then pick the lot of them
Diamonds, gold and rubies too
Your opal skin -translucent
I swear I see your soul
But does absence quail you,
Irrevocably so?
So tell me, I shall see it
Written and then done
I shall dredge the Ocean
For my perfect one
The seas they live to say it
They brim with all of you
Certain as the waters
Of immensities blue hue
Your sadness it now courts me
And I shall see you pleased
If I must entreat Poseidon
To let the deep release
The joys of all your memories
The joys of what you miss
I shall find it for you
Wherever hides your bliss.
