Poem
Though I have been born on an island Though the sea and the beaches make themselves seen to me so often Each time I do sit and watch the waves I do feel like I am roaming soul, a soul seeking mystery's love! Such is what is happening now; sitting am I, at dusk, on the sand All alone, my heart does beat fast and my pen is in my hand I do sit and write of what I do imagine Of the sea and the waves and the mystery of it all, being my life's only scene I see myself on board a boat One on which no name is writ One bearing no flag, except a hidden one, made of a skull One having no destination, except to keep away from life, a disguised hell On board this boat I am, on board with a prince One so mighty and bold, so handsome, with a devilish face So handsome that when he chose to kidnap me I pretended to be so meek and weak, as to be scared to follow him meekly On board this boat, we do make love, so deep and passionate On board this boat, we do no more care about Karma and Fate On board this boat, we do exist only for each other Regardless of whether calm or wild is the water We travel the world, we meet with mythical creatures Mermaids, hiding in their hair, the olden pirates' treasures Krakens, wishing to gobble us up in one gulp Ulysses, even, shouting out to us to free him, to give him a help! We battle the rogue waves, we drown in each other's comfort We live day by day, as if it were the last We breathe in and out freedom We are our own rulers, rulers of the sea, a vast kingdom! The sea, the only escape to our toils, the only way to rid us of our miserable state The sea, wide, open, inviting, infinite The sea, by the side of which, dreams full in my heart, I do spend the night! The sea, by the side of which, dreams full in my heart, I do pen down a hearty write! Trashed #3, sponsor, Broken Wings 22 Oct 2015
