Salt Water Queen


(Authers note: this poem was inspired by the song 

"Salt Water Queen" by The Battle of Land and Sea)

 

 

salt water queen

hair of green

sand soft and hard

water cool and warm

legs of a tale

with shiny scales

voice for sailors

salty air

voices call to sea

women they be

Sailors perish

the voices they cherish

davy jones awaits

their wives at the wake

lovley white bones

no pain no moans

fish eat thier flesh

mermaids refresh
