Part II ... Vessel of my love

Part II  
(a note for my love)  

Mi Amor,

Your tears are seedlings
For the dark waters I sail  
Shed no more for me  

Ocean filled sorrow
Breeds perilous depths and waves
Camouflaging reefs

Stand in the crow's nest
To see the breath of my sails
In my flight to thee

My hull carved by you
My masthead, your ripe body
Guides me fearlessly

Navigate our course
I trust the light of your eyes  
To find our kingdom  

We can only fail
If clouds tween the stars and us  
Are held to be truth  

Kneeling on your shores
I'm captive to torrent waves
Surrendered in bliss

Your caramel hands
Coated in sugar burrow
Into ebony  

The lapping laughter
Of mermaids tickles our ears
With each cresting ebb

We find a sweet truce
Until the next battle cry  
harkens Your vessel  

Te amo mi reina
