"Curse of the Sea"
This was in response to lilyflys Extemporaneous Project
I said I was FINE,
now leave me alone.
You cant fix me this time,
I have to do it on my own.
If you want to help
just sit in the corner there,
be still and be quiet,
like a maiden fair.
dont speak a word,
just light the CANDLE.
Listen to me as I tell my story,
it may be too hard for you to handle.
As the fire burns and flickers
I will tell you my tale,
a tale of a SEA,
gone dry and stale.
They say its a Curse.
The CURSE of the SEA,
a lovers last cry,
of imprisonment to be free.
I do not recall
the exact words he said,
but something like "To dry waters
all you fools will be lead.
There will be no relief,
until someone loves me.
Till I am free of my bonds
I curse these seas."
This man made quite an IMPRESSION on me,
he was locked up for betraying the queen.
Though he never did her any harm,
but he loved her indeed.
She refused to give up her crown for him,
She chose royalty over love.
So she accused him of treachery
and treated him like a thug.
I tried loving him once,
but how do you love a broken man?
When water is all you want,
from the seas of SAND.
