The Mistress of the Sea
The ship has crashed, you fall beneath the waves, You wonder if the light shall be your last. Your yearn for air, exceeding any craves That you think that you've had in moments past. But suddenly a tender, pretty arm Appears and pulls you father, farther down. You wake without the slightest trace of harm- Though deep below, you did not even drown! A pretty face has welcomed you awake. Her beauty makes you wonder if you're dead! The mighty walls are strong but not opaque. You leap up, with a startle, from your bed. But she insists you rest here in her home! She's glad to see you very much alive. It seems that she was floating in the foam, And saw the crash, and made a speedy dive. The details seem so scarce... you rest your brain, And wonder who this pretty maid could be. Her tender smile is easing to your pain, Her backdrop- through the walls- the mighty sea. The wonders of a surface unexplored! Things unadulterated by man's sight! You lie and claim your health is not restored. You think to creep when she's asleep at night. If she could live below and play atop, You're sure an exit is around somewhere. You find a painting swinging and you stop. You pull it back and find a doorway there. As you peer down into a black abyss, You feel a gentle push and fall below. Your nosy is bloody, something is amiss... A light appears and bathes you in its glow. Your eyes make out plaque upon the wall And figure it some secret to the mess. 'Oh, dear... '(it reads) 'did you slip up and fall? You aren't bright- it seems you didn't guess That I'm a siren, deadly and severe. You're in my ocean and you've crossed the line. Intruders die, but you need little fear, Because you're at the end, and you are mine.' The spear is swift, your chest seemed no support From deadly barb-ed blades and trident stabs. "Do you make thirty?" asks the girl. A snort. "I think it's more, but I'm not keeping tabs." So men beware, the mistress of the sea Is sharper than a butcher comprehends! Don't judge a woman by the thing you see, More competent than you have met their ends!
