Don't believe in love anymore,
navigating this hurricane sea,
Sailing east into a rising sun,
this broken heart-badge tattooed on me,
Twenty thousand leagues,
on the ocean blue,
can't save a single feather or naked wing,
from the warm breast of that floundering white dove,
Scarcely a soaring albatross,
foreboding, forbidding any solitary quill,
as hot lightning bolts,
razing my Captain's charts,
stirring this pirate love.

Can't believe in peace anymore,
watching plunging pelicans,
far along the ocean reach,
Ruthless bills, 
war declared on writhing grunion,
tempting fidelity,
live to love,
to spawn,
naturally enjoying another sexy foray,
on a busy beach,
Judge judiciously,
those swarthy birds of flight,
those hungry beasts of prey,
harshly casting deathly gloom,
Engaged in battle,
armoured for this timeless soiree,
enraging rattle,
no life preserver nor kevlar vest to don,
midst this never ending doom.

Ne'er believe in faith,
or trust again,
zealot's seek a brimming chalice,
full of worldly hope,
Lost in this cyclone's tempest,
assume a myriad of stars have fallen,
plummeting from a bewildered sky,
awestruck our planet spins,
failing to cope,
Lazy greed hath scourged,
taunting feral love,
crucifying heartfelt joy,
securely nailing vibrant faith to equatorial latitude,
Inflicting deep wounds and sores,
imposing festering scars,
devouring each left over morsel,
marking every indiscriminate soul,
void of compassion,
embezzling passion's buoyant gratitude,
every heart-string gambled, as love rambled.

Lamenting,
I think of you,
lost at sea,
rivers streaming o'er my tidal cheeks,
like incessant ocean waves,
Failed dreams,
dashed against some foreign rocky shore,
facetious love jokes,
cajoling, jests,
purloined from ecstatic raves,
raised from unmarked graves,
Shipwrecked on this Crusoe desert isle,
no man Friday in attendance,
barren of singing silky mermaids,
lest expression conjure mythical unicorn,
or lithe and naked Aphrodite,
Stand weeping,
counting scuttled stars,
love lies bleeding and forlorn,
desecrating yet another sacred beach,
dragged by a sweeping undertow,
o'er reckless jellyfish and ragged reef,
choking back this coal black night,
while desperate errant love,
wades unbelieving and alone,
in the shallow depths of morning light.
