The Sailor's First Love

A tale of a navy man and his first love

He looked at her adoringly

Love shining bright in his eyes.

He didn’t notice the way

Time had just passed by.

Was it the shimmy of her curves

That allured her to him ?

Or was it the way the sunlight hit

Her silky skin?

Oh the way she moved

Swaying her voluptuous hips,

As a smile adorned

Her pale white lips.

By her calm peacefulness

He was enamored with

It was her fiery passion

That drew him in.

He relished the crashing waves

Of her pent up rage

And was her sturdy rock

Throughout those days

She was dangerous and a killer

They all said

But danger never scared him

And neither did death

With welcoming arms

He opened his heart

And even as he grew old

They never grew apart

He bought a house

So as to be near her

By the shores they’d meet

But never further

His days of masts and orders

Were well past behind

But the sea would always be his first love

No matter who else he finds.

Wow, this is beautiful! Such a good way to tell a stroy.

I think you forgot to separate fifth verse?
