Batten Down the Hatches Two
She brought me fresh water
In her portable vessel
And poured it from
Her mouth to mine.

And the foods she chewed is passed to me
Like the water, kissed from her mouth to mine
And I lay helpless there with mouth wide open
Like a baby bird hungry and waiting for food.

Her hands soft tender gentle caressing
Nursed me and healed all my wounds
And hand in hand with my heart beating faster
We wandered her Nipponese land.

In the quiet of night I lay close beside her
Whispering to her of my love.
She listened quiet breathing sighing singing
And she sings to me of her Siren song.

I sang the song my Siren song
To bring you here to me
And you must obey the Siren's song
And you must be loving me.

Later on a mountain's top
We stood above rocks and sea
I love you my Captain she breathed to me
My lover a love a love that cannot be.

End part two

1. I'm beginning to like love poems
I used to never like them and I hated love songs, but I think that my hardened soul is starting to soften.

Good job, oneighty. Have you ever had anything published? Your writing is professional grade in my opinion. I'm no critic or master of the language, but I know good writing when I see it.
