The Sea

(7/25/2019)

Jason Rice

As I was walking to the Sea

A dancing figure I did see.

She skipped and dipped,

Hair wild and whipped;

Her eyes blazed sharp and free.

I drew closer to the Sea;

The figure turned to look at me.

Truth be told,

My blood ran cold,

For I’d never seen the like of She.

I stood frozen by the Sea

And marveled at how it could be:

Skin green and blue

And golden too,

Eyes like diamonds

Piercing me.

I was trembling ‘fore the Sea

When the Vision spoke to me.

“Oh mortal fair...”

She stroked my hair

“I would thrust and writhe with thee.”

I was pulled into the Sea.

The Demon silenced every plea

With lips like fire;

I felt desire

Burst from deep inside of me.

I threw myself beneath the Sea;

No longer did I wish to flee.

As I held her hips,

Slipped through Her lips,

Madness danced with lust in me.

I passed far beyond the Sea

To waters so few mortals see.

We grasp and roll

In inky cold

Where monsters sleep

And dead men keep

The flames of blue

And silver too

So far below

So very deep.
