She was the vastness of the oceans
I, sailing the seas
Enjoying her swells, her too and fro
She would entice me with blue dreams of lore
I would sail away from the safety of the shore
I was the lonely boat, with nothing but loves delusions
Heading over the horizon
Traveling inside seasick daydreams
On the high seas
I sailed full of hope
Not quite knowing, the ocean
Well she was handing me the rope
My heart tied in sailors knots
Love it seems, was all for not
I lie now, with empty heart
Below
As she the sea has fully consumed
The soul of me
Blackness is now all that I can see
Deception buried in my coffin
Thus setting me free

Deep and thought provoking, this poem is well worth sailing through, but never quickly for each line deserves savoring. Creatively done, Arthur ... CayCay
