A Love Story

With the ringing of a horn and a man yelling all aboard. I knew I had to get on somehow. I saw a line that I climbed Hid out in a pile of boxes that laid below deck. When the ship set sail I knew I was going somewhere. Knew my life was soon to start. The first night I laid low, the second night I met a girl who stole my heart loosing myself in her eyes I slowly let her into my life. She saw who I was an unwealthy and uneducated man, with a life of unknown adventures ahead. The ship hit and started to sink. We grabbed each others hand and ran quick. Wish I would have met her in another time where we could have laughed and cried. Never thought it would end like this holding the hand of a girl I never kissed. As our souls drifted away and we became one. Our bodies lied limp together and the sea won.

Wow! This really reminds me of the movie and how Leonardo was able to stow away. Very beautiful poem, Cory. If I were judging, this would place high! Winning wishes for you. Love, Carolyn

What a moving poem this is, Cory. Like the movie, it makes us feel the sadness of a love that cannot be (at least not in this life).
