Poseidon's Arms

Love is but a sinking ship
that's swallowed by the sea.
And I would be the ocean
if your heart would plunge in me.

Surrender to my currents, love.
Descend beneath the crests.
Take my waters in your lungs,
and I shall give you rest.

Do not resist the rising waves,
nor fight against the tide.
Come into Poseidon's arms,
for they are open wide.
