Poetry

[Sigfried Hunin]

Neptune’s Remorse

Not high enough to touch her
But she’s always moving me
Push and pull in the rising sea
I feel the rivers rushing
But I also feel it’s not to be

So at night, when dolphins play
And frigates fight
I swing my waves at young sailor men
and show Poseidon’s might

With the fury of a tribal god
Krakens whip, and sharks do gnaw
Waves drag children into the gasping maw

So fear the foaming, frothing tide
Because even as my strength so broad
My girth do wide
Never shall I have my bride

Shimmer brightly down
She does shine
Dancing reflections amongst the brine

And sad I am as she does fall
Listen careful, you will hear my killer’s call

As the sun does shine again
And so do I thrash and throw
Little men across the bow and blow
Tearing sails and sinking slow

So fear my wrath
Fear my tides
As even as my strength so broad
My girth so wide
Never shall I have my bride
Shimmer softly in my mind
For never shall I have you by my side.

This is a poem about the sea and the moon. Also, love.
