Sea Shanty

I wrote this on the offhanded request of a friend. She said that her OTP (One True Pairing), was sand and salt water. And I take inspiration where ever I can get it.

Sea Shanty
You are the salt of my earth,
Said the tide to the shore.

Leaving sweet nothings
In pools filled with stars
As the moon’s siren song
Pulled them further apart.
Palm trees with their heads
buried in the clouds
promised he’d return,
You could hear it
in the crashes of the waves.

But every time you leave,
You wear me away,
The shore whispered back.
