He was a sailor,
his skin freckled,
each mark a lingering kiss
from the sun,
soon to be softened
by the kisses from my tongue.
He was a sailor,
his eyes grey—
storms brewing just beyond the bay,
pulling at the depths
buried beneath my skin.
Oh, my sailor,
oh, my married man —
an ode to the man
who turned me into a siren.
My lips taste of your salt,
my skin wet from your kiss,
my body pulled beneath you,
my hips swaying like a tide
beneath the moon.
He was a sailor,
and he returned to the shore —
a home, a wife, a family
awaiting his return.
But does he ever think of me,
the siren who awaits
beneath the waves of sin?
