My Beautiful Sailing Ship, the
LoriAnn
Upon the waves high do we ride,
swiftly you carry me
to places far unknown...
The ocean of the inner soul is vast
and frightening
by crossing it
what wondrous treasures you and I will find
Continents undiscovered, peoples unknown, journeys lie ahead
Beauty and wonder is our elixir
I the soul adventurer,
The swashbuckling pirate captain of your heart
You, my mighty proud ship... my love... and the finest of all
to see
How I care and love for you so, you I make my life
Our destinies locked together, we become one
You depend on me and I upon you
The mermaid sirens call to me... sounds of
despair... haunting, intoxicating... beautiful
I am tempted.... come drown
yourself in yourself
No! I have but one true love, and she holds me up
and carries me above the blackness, and her
I shall never forsaken...!
---
I stand upon your breast,
we search the oceans together
At night I speak to you
And you to me
Hurricanes we face, intense emotions, the boiling waters
we cling to one another through the dark skies
together we are tossed... hold fast my love!
I scramble to protect you,
your strength it is resolute
The morning sun greets us, sparkling upon the water
The dolphins play at your bow
A rainbow shows us the way
Our destination is the journey itself
That night I sing to you
Songs and tales from far away
Of places we have been and things we will see
Your silence it stills my troubled heart
Many ships have I seen
Many carpenters have crafted you
But there is only one ship for me, and one captain for you
Fly high and proud the white flag of
the golden unicorn
upon your mast for all to see, it is our flag of joy
You, the mighty, quiet, stout, beautiful LoriAnn
Me, your lover, your companion,
The captain of your heart
