This was previously posted in Prose but I was corrected that this isn't prose and was instructed to post it here. So here goes.

Rain pouring down
Onto the creaking wooden boards
Of the colossal Maria Liona

Jack strolls down the deck
Searching through the blue-green sea
For what he did not know

What answers could he find
In the vast mass of water
What questions were he asking?

But no sooner did he ask this
Than did a subtle splash appear
On the starboard side

Jack hurried over to find
The greatest shock of his life
There rising out of the sea
Was the most beautiful of beautiful ladies

Dressed in a flowing green gown
Green as the deep deep sea
Her arms outstretched as if she was calling
"Jack come to sea with me."

Jack stood in awe at this beautiful lady
He gripped the boat's edge
He wanted to jump in
To greet the most beautiful of women

She opened her mouth and out came a song
One that Jack had never heard
He listened intently to her words
Calling, calling him in

"Oh, Jack come with me
In the lovely sea
So I'll be lonely no more"

Jack could't hold it in
And he did jump in
No one will see him again

"Come away with me, Wendy. Come away to Neverland."

This morning theres a calm I cant explain
By the time I recognize this moment it will be gone,  
I will bend light pretending it lingers on

As I explained before... and I still believe it after reading it again... This is a very well written work. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and look forward to reading more.

Cause in my dreams it's always there
The evil face that twists my mind
And brings me to despair.
