Poem
I figured this wouldn’t be read because of its length, so why not just post it and get it over with Love is my ocean ~ Placed on a mantle, the ship torn and tattered Its bottle long gone as it smashed to the floor Shards of the memories swept and discarded Tossed out to sea at the edge of the shore The captain, a man of great means and stature Stood at the helm till the storm it had passed All but the crew warned of coming disaster Seeing the clouds filled with darkness en mass Rough were the waters, the flags were a waving Violent the waves that did spill on the bow Taller than buildings at rest on the homeland Survival the quest even not knowing how Deep was this ocean, despair on its surface Blue as the night with no moon there to shine Calling his name as he held to the railing Wondering if this just might be his time Flashes of long ago parted his memories Regrets began flowing as if on their own It would be different if he had the manner Hindsight to tell him if only he’d known Washed up on shore with the ringing so loudly Felt for the earth as the tide did recede Gasping for air as if none had existed Tasting the salt of what he did believe Burning of wounds that did cover his body Ripples a’ sheen as the sun it did shine Blurry his vision the focus he needed Sent on this voyage of his own design Running away seemed the answer to freedom Hauntings of loss came to welcome him home So far away did the scene seem much sweeter Not on your life as he now stood alone Back to his senses, this ship was his letter Words he had written not ever to send Caught in a down pour of flooded emotions How could this happen to him once again When out in the distance upon the horizon A nacarat sky did call to his face Turning attention to what had just happened He noticed the path of his fears did erase Calm placed its hand on the waters before him Soft was the wind that did partner his breath Sending a strength that before had been frozen Causing the chill that half scared him to death Smooth was the ocean, this ship very buoyant Sails to the east took on air to their fill Moving his ship to the edge of nirvana Downhill the sailing a’ bridge of the hill Peace did engulf every board that he strode Lush came the vision of land at his stern Caution now tossed to the winds of devotion Using the lessons his life it did learn Happy the ending though just the beginning Spring brought the crocus atop of the earth Smiling of daisies in form fitting fashion Now was the day of his new found rebirth There was no ship and there was no captain Raging the seas but a figment of truth Storm clouds ahead was to my own reaction That was the chapter and I’ve found the proof Merely a story with no complications Telling the tale of my life once before Tossing and turning till right side was down Till the horizon placed you at my door This strange adventure is how I was feeling Lost in a world with no earthly delights Cast to the corner and taken advantage Until the day that you came to my life As if the sun found my eyes so wide open Warmed up my heart with a joy ever new Embracing the touch that I now find does comfort As of that day that our love came to view Long were the years of my loneliest outlook Days where the time shall remain locked away For as your love it does greet me each morning Eternal my dreams will be born every day So call me a captain, the world is my vessel Sitting a’ port at the head of the sea Love is my ocean so far everlasting For now it hath brought true affection to me Nacarat – Bright orange red color
