The Rhythm of Our Love
My head is stuck in the clouds
She begs me to come down
Says "Boy quit foolin' around"
I told her "I love the view from up here
Warm sun and wind in my ear
We'll watch the world from above
As it turns to the rhythm of love"
Poseidon looked up at the sky, wondering what his family on Mount Olympus would think if they saw he was with a woman, and he was in love with her. Bad things, he decided.
Sally Jackson walked up to him and said, "What are you doing? Come get your head down from the clouds and quit foolin' around. Come spend time with me."
"Aw, but Sally! I love the view of the clouds in a bright blue clear sky over the ocean. It just is so nice and calming. The warm sun hitting my skin and the gentle breeze hitting my ear… We could watch the world from above, on Olympus, if you come with me, Sally. We could stay together forever."
"You know I can't, Poseidon. I want to take care of my child on earth, not Olympus."
Poseidon sighed as he looked at her stomach, slightly larger than before, but not by much. "I understand. Just… if you ever want to, I mean if you change your mind, just give me a call."
He rummaged around in his Bermuda shorts pocket until he pulled out three golden drachmas. He handed them to her, and she held them in her hand for a moment, feeling the inscribed gold circles, before putting them in her jean shorts pocket.
"Plus, this is probably your last night with me at Montauk. We should make the moment last."
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love
"Yes, I know. Since we only have tonight, you will be mine until Apollo decides to say night is over. We can play some music… and," Poseidon grabbed Sally's hands, "sway to the rhythm of our love."
Sally giggled at the cheesy line as Poseidon did some of his godly magic and made some low music begin to play. The two danced together on the beach, holding each other close, never wanting to let go.
My heart beats like a drum
A guitar string to the strum
A beautiful song to be sung
Poseidon's heart was beating fast like a steel drum as he heard the music switch to a slow acoustic guitar. The singer had a wonderful voice that sung the love song beautifully.
She's got blue eyes deep like the sea
That roll back when she's laughing at me
She rises up like the tide
The moment her lips meet mine
He looked into her blue eyes; blue eyes deep like the vast Caribbean Sea. Poseidon told her this and Sally just rolled her eyes while laughing. Even when she's mocking me, it's beautiful, he thinks.
Sally rises up on her toes (since she is rather short compared to him) and places her lips on Poseidon's for a quick minute. The tide on the shore next to them rose slightly, as Poseidon lost control of his emotions. Not that either of them cared much. They only had this one last night together and they were going to make it last until dawn.
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love
When the moon is low
We can dance in slow motion
And all your tears will subside
All your tears will dry
The moon rode out with Artemis and the music continued. The couple began to dance slower as the music slowed into a more informal waltz.
Sally, unknown to her, began to tear up. The water droplets fell from her ducts and Poseidon wiped them away with his thumb and held her that much closer.
He bent his head down to her ear and whispered, "The tears will subside, Hun. They will all dry. Let us just enjoy this last moment together."
The two held each other close and danced all night. When they awoke to see the sun, they also saw they had fallen asleep on the beach, in each other's arms. They didn't mind that at all.
But now it was time for the hardest part, the goodbyes.
"Call me if there is ever an emergency, ok? I want to know my child is safe. Oh, and please bring him to camp when he is of age. I want my boy to train to be his best."
Ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba baba
Sally nodded with a sad smile on her face. "I will, Poseidon. Please keep our son in your heart, don't forget him, okay?"
"I would never. I will never forget you either, Sally. I love you, you know that, right? No matter how old I get, no matter how many millennia pass, you will always be loved by me."
Sally nodded and whispered, "I l-love you too, Poseidon. Goodbye."
Da da-da dum da-da dum
Poseidon stepped out of their embrace and began walking back into the ocean. He had a sudden 'light bulb' moment and he went back over to her.
She looked at him, confused, but he still spoke, "Oh, and one more thing. Can we name him Perseus? I quite like the name. Even though my brother used it first, our son deserves a happy ending, don't you think?"
Ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba
Sally smiled and said, "I was thinking the same thing. Perseus Jackson; Percy for short. I love it. Now, goodbye."
Da da-da dum da-da dum
And Poseidon left, back to his underwater palace, back with his immortal wife and son, back from the one mortal he truly loved, and ever will love.
And long after I've gone
You'll still be humming along
And I will keep you in my mind
The way you make love so fine
Even after Poseidon left, Sally Jackson stayed at the beach for a few more days. She would find herself randomly humming the song they danced to their last night together, and she would just smile sadly at the memory.
Poseidon kept his promise and always kept a special place for Sally Jackson, in his heart and in his mind. He remembered the night that they made love, and when Sally told him she was pregnant with his son, he was so happy…
They had one last night together, and it changed both of them forever.
Percy Jackson was born on August 18th, but Poseidon wasn't there. In the hospital, that is. He watched from Olympus his son being born, and for the first time, he cried tears of joy. He knew then that Percy would always be his favorite son.
He and Sally definitely sway to The Rhythm of Love.
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love
