Charmaine Chircop Poet Free verse

I Sail This Ship Alone

As the last opalescent glow of sunset

fades away

I sail this ship alone

towards a crimson horizon

over a starlit sea

to the soft lapping of waves

which lullaby my destiny

I sail this ship alone

far from the coral sand

far from the pebbled beach

far from my sun-kissed land

Tonight there is no moon

but there's a sparkle in the sky

a starry night so still

filled with beacons of bright light

Tomorrow births a new dawn

a song within a dream

meadows of yellow buttercups

and fields of evergreen

Tomorrow I'll be greeted
 
by a pink-winged butterfly

a host of daffodils, and golden dandelions

a rose within a smile

Tomorrow I stroll along a new shore

feel fresh salt spray on my cheek

dance bare-foot in the wind

as Spring whispers on the breeze.

Justin Bordner August 23, 2014 at 2:20 AM Your heart charms the scene of a new dawn delivered from the hope of night sea Charma, very beautiful...J.A.B.

James Fraser August 19, 2014 at 6:05 PM In school many years ago, we would sketch an image on a single page. As one flicked the pages, we could see we made a home made movie. What incredible joy it would be to do exactly the same with your poems Charmaine. Just imagine what you would view, something spectacular and breathtaking. Next time you read this one for example, close your eyes, and vision your words, dream deep, and I guarantee, you'll touch what you've written about. Now that's POETRY ;) James xx :)
