Nine, Ten, Four

Sudden bursts of starlight tremble, spackled on the mast
green and blue of Triton's fellows dancing on my past

In auburn whirls a cast and sails flowing o'er her neck
a soft embrace, her face, her freckles crashing on the deck

never one to let a danger pass you by, now is your chance
never one to keep a stranger at your side, this is romance

Calm with sweat, the day had mellowed, passing on the scene
Crystal twilight, red to yellow, yellow to marine
Something stirred, a last exhale of More's mysteries
A soft embrace, her face, her smells, though new don't feel to be

Never one to let a danger pass you by, now is your chance
Never one to keep a stranger at your side, this is romance

Now the nighttime rudely shattered, dashed by breaking day
With the day and all it's ego, darkness fades away
So my lover and my future rock on evening's wake
A soft embrace, judged by new shadows, growing towards their fate

Never one to let a danger pass you by, now is your chance
Never one to keep a stranger at your side, this is romance

and love
