A classic. Inspiration taken from sinbad, Persian wars, etc.
...Ah? the goddess of the sea
Who shall I sink to with?
For a breath had me kissed as mad as I am for she

And bowls all the vowels on her floor
Spurt by blood and restless howls
Yet none of these humors
Shall draw a jeopardy smile
Nor an innocence of her name

Oceania, my loveless
Such a lover with the sad eyes
Waves are shattered from pieces
Of red risen ink and ill seeding wails

Oh, so the sky wears down on Earth's most glorious face...!
And leaves the moon abandoned above all unnamed hopes
And mourned in my reach! In a reflecting mirror!

These are what battles have made carved as lust for the lonely hearts
For the young men who marched recklessly unto their deaths

Bit by bit, each was raped by the vines
Yes, each was raped by the vines
All the confined prayers worn off in every trance

Surely Nature has long forbid this mortal dances
For no time will shout in June
And new flowers may come too soon...

Blame not the birds and so the winds
If they may not speak to us anymore
They may not speak to us anymore

Has God wept on us?
... I believe He has.

Once the night was as beauty-lived bliss
It is a time when the stars were bright
And the skinny moon rides a rainbow in the sand

It is when the wind still comforts the ones...
As when the sea fades into an ocean
As when our heart leans back and flee

To the night, that once… was a beauty for free
