A Poet At Sea

Just a Poet at sea... A voyage across waters where I can be free... I sit with my feet up writing of the views... Always knowing that my poetry will make small news... The pages turn as I watch parents and children play... I scribe tales of lovers and dreamers who set sail that day... As the darkness filled the night only a quiet sky set a tone... The moon is my light to scribble as I watch all alone... The shaking of my pen as my paper is dusted in snow... Then screams of horror as water pours at my feet with no where to go... I clench my book of tales and run to a point where I can be... And there I float as this world is eaten by the sea... As silence and cries drift fast asleep... I close my eyes and die with only my poetry to keep... written for DreamWeavers Titanic contest... by Michael J Falotico
