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.
