Fading Dream

I’ve loved her dearly since my childhood days
Watching her subtle movements under the sun’s hot rays
She was sheer beauty when calm and warm
And magnificent in the eye of the storm

She lured me with her magic charms
To far away places and a woman’s arms
To mysterious places and exotic sights
Under the Southern Cross, romantic nights

She reached inside me and touched my soul
She took my life and made it whole
The longing for her, my heart retained
A fading dream is what remained

I still dream of sailing her waters once more
As I stand alone along her shore.

Sharon Winter Date: 8/21/2008 1:10:00 PM You do indeed have a beautiful love affair with the sea. I think you should plan to sail at least once a year. It will not be the same, but the sea is always the sea. It may just give you that fix you need. Your enchantment is evident in this awesome Sonnet. Excellent write. Love, Shar Login to Reply
