Special Halloween Edition

My Johnny Sailor (AmbergrisJane)

My Johnny Sailor

I stand along the ragged coast,

My lantern burnin' bright.

Mine eyes search wide for what is lost,

My conquest for the night.

For 'ere I stand in Port Royal,

Where news of doom has reached.

The Golden Fleece has met a squall,

And proof of it has beached.

But I care not, for all its gold,

My heart bleeds just for one.

Dear darlin' Johnny, sailor bold,

Now lost, forever gone.

Now, as I walk along the beach,

The rain began to pour.

The sea came covered in a mist,

With ethereal glow.

I felt myself in cold embrace,

A known voice in my ear.

I start to thank a mystic grace,

My Johnny Sailor's here.

I smiled and kissed my sailor- dead,

But then, I start to dread.

He asks I join his grave at sea,

Bound forever, for eternity.

And though I feared, true love had won,

I said my yes, and it was done.

I felt him drag me off the shore.

And fade with him, in the ocean floor.
