You thought the leaden winter
                          
would bring you down forever,
                         
But you rode upon a steamer
                        
to the violence of the sun

And the colors of the sea
                              
blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
                         
And you touch the distant beaches
                      
with tales of brave Ulysses
                          
How his naked ears were tortured
                     
by the sirens sweetly singing,
                           
For the sparkling waves are calling you
                     
to kiss their white laced lips

And you see a girl s brown body
                      
dancing through the turquoise,
                       
And her footprints make you follow
                      
where the sky loves the sea
                     
And when your fingers find her,
                     
she drowns you in her body,
                 
Carving deep blue ripples
                     
in the tissues of your mind

The tiny purple fishes
                         
run laughing through your fingers,
                             
And you want to take her with you
                       
to the hard land of the winter

Her name is Aphrodite
                       
and she rides a crimson shell,
                       
And you know you cannot leave her
                              
for you touched the distant sands
                       
With tales of brave Ulysses
                            
how his naked ears were tortured
