Vee Bdosa Poet Sonnet

Akula Voyage 2015

AKULA
 VOYAGE
My wish is just to go to sea
forgetting everything that's me
   on Akula, the boat I've never seen,
    forgetting everything I've ever been.

To feel as free as gulls who fly
not bound by earth, nor in the sky,
   away from everything I'll never know,
     that takes me places I must never go.

Away from love, away from hate,
of born too soon, or born too late.
   To drift as islands, in the tropic stream,
     on Akula, my ghost of only dream.

My wish is but to leave within our wake
What love is left, after my last mistake.

© Ron Wilson aka Ron Arbuthnot aka
Vee Bdosa the Doylestown Poet
aka a few other poets names down
through the years I have even forgotten.

Edwin Hofert July 9, 2015 at 8:31 AM A 7 for this reflective tribute to a boat that's more than a boat. A refuge. A place away from every place. A place of it's own. Nice to see you here sir. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work here at soup.

Judy Konos July 7, 2015 at 6:56 PM Hey Ron...We did not lose Akula in Hurricane Katrina. We lived on her until they rebuilt our house that we had just finished building...LOL...though certainly not funny back then....So good to see my favorite Poet back on Soup....we love you much. Thanks for the advice you gave Edwin Hofert...he's almost as good as you are...ALMOST.... Jan Allison July 8, 2015 at 1:44 AM I knew I had seen the name before Judy! Hugs Jan xx
