Jan Oskar Hansen Poet Blank verse

Broken Dreams

Broken dreams 

Tonight I`m happy and sad
I refuse to cry over lost friends
I`m drunk too 
It feels good to up the anchor of sobriety
Let alcohol give winds to my sails.
I`m a clipper buying tea in China
 not useless toys
Sleek the line and the women admired me
let the clipper sail 
I don`t care I will stay here and 
make love to you.
I`m sorry I left you, my Liverpool girl but
I went to Brazil to harvest coffee beans
Guatemala I got there by chance 
the beach in the moonlight
I have not forgotten my promises
one day more, just one day more
but the ship always sails to other shores 
and I never got to write 
the poem of my life
