O Sailor

O sailor...

String me a chain of your love verses,

I can wear in my heart's recesses,

So when you're away on high seas

Can to myself recite these,

To comfort myself,

When loneliness worsens,

Feel our bond strengthen.

O sailor...

I'll wait on the shores expectantly,

Eyes fixed on the distant horizon, going crazy

Wishing the first to glimpse the sail masts,

Flying in the wind bringing you

Closer into my arms,

Hungry for your kisses,

My lips are parched.

O sailor...

Without you, nights seem interminable,

Without you, my eyes stay awaken,

My being suffused with your smells,

That you left on the bedspread, we shared

Your head I held close to my breast

How can I forget

That last night we spent.

O sailor...

Do you remember making love all night 

Whispering sweet nothings into my ears

Riding together new crests of emotions

Satiated, collapsing on the bed

Till new waves of desire washed over us

Resumed lovemaking, reaching new heights

Unscaled by lovers before us.

O sailor...

Pray..steer your ship homewards fast

Can't wait to share a secret

Locked deep within my heart

I know you'll jump out of your skin

When with your hands you will feel

A new life that within me exists 

Conceived that night when love didn't cease.
