Married to the Sea

Once upon an ocean floor
Ship slips off its standing moor
Sonar ghosts and sirens score
Underwater lovers lore
Sailor succumbs into storm
Sucked in, stuck with marlin's sword
Spirals miles downward shore
Drinks in, sinks when can't endure
Oh no, Brizo feels him go
Swiftly swims to him below
Lips to his and breath she blows
Life despite his death bestowed
Terms, in turn, forever keep 
Loyal deity and deep
Stay at bay and always be
Married to the sea and she
