Sunset

10 1 3
                                    

The sun dances with the ocean,
His forbidden love.
They perform forgotten motions;
The horizon bleeds above.


The ocean dances with the sun,
And she tries not to think.
For surely as they've spun,
Soon he must come to sink.


The sun dances with the ocean,
And tries not to despair,
At the bewitching notion,
That soon, he'll leave her there.


The ocean dances with the sun,
But now, he must take leave.
He melts away at once,
And she is left to grieve.
