Sarah's Dream
She lies in her bed of white linen
As the heat of the night clings to her skin
A breeze brings the curtain to meet her breast
As her unbridled dream begins

The Captain storms anxiously into the room
From the long voyage at sea
Laying cutlass aside, he bares his broad chest
And adores the one who'll fulfill his need

His long, brown hair and ocean-blue eyes
Bring his chiseled body alive
She feels the heat from his sensuous smile
And their emotions stirring inside

He comes to her with a burning desire
She awaits his gentle caress
His mouth on hers, their bodies intertwined
He lights a fire, he alone can quench

As she lies in her bed of white linen
The sun's golden rays touch her skin
As the Captain's embrace slowly fades away
Her fulfilling dream comes to an end
