Carl Fraser Poet Epic

A Epic Voyage

On lofty seas 
she's carried me
Across many an ocean wide
Through winds and waves
O'er  watery graves
And many an angry tide
I be seen all sorts 
In many a port
Me lads an me hoist a few
Then back to the sail
Midst raging gale
Into waters crystal blue
Thars a lass who waits
Near Harbors gates
With brown skin oh so fine
She takes me in
Tho im wearing thin 
She doesnt pay no mind
A night o lust 
Shakes of the rust
In her bosom I shut me eyes
And rise in Morn
Used and forlorn
An greet the azure skies
A wink of eye 
A kiss good  bye
For salt air beckons me
Loves found and lost
I counts the cost
For me first love is the sea.

Genevieve Mika-Stevens October 2, 2015 at 10:35 AM Just browsing around and came upon this - short and fun to read poem of yours...and I suppose many of those who sail feel like this.
