2 Poems In 1

I have yet to see your waves so bloodied 
Melancholy pitching too and fro 
Less an Ocean , More a River
Taking breath and solace behest the bow
Journeying forth aboard this intrepid Ghost Ship

Oh Lighthouse 
Lighthouse
In my future 

Bring me safe and sound ashore 
Place me in your Bosom safe once more
Hug me and hold me to your shore 

Cancel my leave 
Fill me full of Rum 
Take away my yearning 

Let us draw a line 
Under searching 
For Sunken Treasure 

Home is where your Map
Has brought me back 2
The Pot of Gold at the end of my Rainbow

No Regret's 
Lest another take my Place
I have run my race 
I have stared death in the face 

This is my Tale 
And I only wish to ride into the Sunset 
With the Sun and Stars 
Not wanting to make me 
Cry my eyes out

But before I do

1 Final question
May I ask 

What is that Perfume you are wearing ?

I think I 
Love You
&
None of this means or makes any sense 
Without you

Indeed, "Journeying forth aboard this intrepid Ghost Ship..." probably wearing Ode de Siren or possibly Ode de Burley (you know to lure in the Sharks). Not bad Flaherty.
