Steve Eng Poet Verse

I Feel Like Columbus (When I Discover You)

Your love is like a harbor where I want to be,
Your body’s like a treasure in a tropic sea,
I can’t believe my eyes each time you smile at me,
I feel like Columbus when I discover you.

I’ve been at sea so long I feel I’m getting old,
The ocean winds are heavy and the water’s cold,
And then I touch your body and it’s pure as gold—
I feel like Columbus when I discover you.

I’ve been a drunken sailor, and I’ve wandered far,
I set my course upon a falling star,
And later when I’m almost ship-wrecked, there you are!
I feel like Columbus when I discover you.

So let me go exploring with you by my side,
We’re making love along the sand, before the tide,
My heart is full of ecstasy, where once I cried…
I feel like Columbus when I discover you.

Carolyn Devonshire September 7, 2009 at 3:22 PM I love this write! We all start to feel "old" when we go too long without those we love. Aye, aye, Mr. Columbus, I'm ready to sail to a tropic shore where love awaits. Love, Carolyn
