Eileen Manassian Poet Free verse

Anchor Me

Anchor my heart
To yours
Don’t let me drift away
The current is strong
It’s pulling me
Hold me fast
Anchor me

Anchor my heart
To unmovable rock
Anchor my soul to yours
The winds may clutch
The waves batter
But tranquility comes
With your touch

Anchor my heart
Anchor me
In arms secure and true
Though buffeted
I rest in a haven
I’m safe anchored to you

Anchor my heart
To the deepest part
Of your being
In your precious heart
Anchor me
For I'm sure to be
Held strong, held fast
So, hear my plea
Till time should last
Please…
Anchor me.

Paul Callus July 18, 2014 at 5:50 AM Simplicity makes for the perfect romantic write; I live by that! Though this speaks of wind and wild waves, it still manages to transmit a sense of calm and reliance. In this case, repetition is a primary useful tool. // paul
