Sulyman Jimoh Poet Free verse

Death of Many Voyagers

In this your steep water of love
There is a graveyard of ships
Wherein Many men before me, 
Who heedlessly have seafared
On this perilous journey of love
What joy have they ever gotten
But destitution, chaos and hurt 
They have only left their homes
With foolish hopes of making 
Their way Into a maiden's heart, 
But in the end they were drowned 
Deep into your tempestuous tides
As they docked their cursed ships 
In bottomless depth of the Ocean 
Of their strayed desires, perhaps Lust.
But they have been afflicted by love
They couldn't even learn from fates
Of loss that befell those that dared
To love you, their worst nightmare 
Even sun drowned in your horizon 
Your fine essence is the sweetness,
Poison many have succumbed to 
Your tempting eyes is the daunting 
Ocean,the Death of many voyagers
