Lost at Sea Again 
===================== 
Really getting tired 
of bloody blue nausea pills... 
they just do not seem 
to work well any more well 
not since Seamus went over 

an able seaman 
he was such a warm man 
for cold lonely nights 
i was looking forward to 
a life lived far off the sea 

working the galley 
i see every one.. even 
those that do not want 
me to see see them pity me 
what is happening to me? 

why aren't these damn pills 
working any more, since then 
party girl mornings 
breakfast visits for a while 
then it joins the sea... how odd 

when i first met him, 
my auburn hair escaped the 
hair net his eyes flashed 
a few watches later he 
broke fraternization rules 

tuning my voice with 
his tongue from below as his 
fingers played above 
afterwards we would talk of 
the future, after this tour 

one night looking 
for something lost in the hold 
seamus disappeared 
someone claimed to hear a scream 
and splash that first lonely night 

later, looking for 
some last trace of him to hold 
i found blood his blood 
and the first mate blew it off 
said men often bleed at sea 

now i have trouble 
eating and sleeping wand'ring 
through the night trying 
to find what took him from me 
i began to get concerned 

some bosuns mate found 
mommies with knives: not much fun 
back to hide in sight 
in the galley hoping to 
survive days to reach the shore 

i heard the handle 
turn last night late in third watch 
pretending to sleep 
lay in bed awake all night 
in morning find a love note 

meet him at life boat 
to sneak there safe and alone 
either its him or 
those that took him from me, will 
not be happy,  i'll gut them 

captains log: first watch 
bodies were found this morning 
that galley woman 
and an able sea man killed 
five men and stole a life boat
