Love

I don't fall easily in love,
I don't leave my tower often.
Every time I speak to the sea,
I bury my heart in a coffin.

One day I spoke with a sailor,
a day the wind was blowing hard,
his words had done their job to bewitch me,
and my heart played into his hands like a card.

I fell deep into the salted sea,
as we explored the great deep mines,
the water dissolved my buriers away,
and his mind wrapped around me like vines.

Part of me was smitten,
part of me was scared,
part of me wished that I didn't,
and I thought about if he had never cared.

I have a lesson to learn about love.
It may end in sadness and surprise,
but the truth of sharing one life with two,
is beautiful without waiting for lies.
