Tales of Brave Ulysses

You know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
By the sirens sweetly singing
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body
With tales of brave Ulysses, how his naked ears were tortured

The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers

Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind

And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea
Sparkling waves are calling you to touch her white laced lips
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
You want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing
And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids
You see your girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise
