It Seems To Have Been Forever
it seems to have been forever
since i held your hand in mine
watched that smile race across
my thoughts are storms raging at sea
with no ear listening
i am alone upon the deck, wandering
lost in the stars above and you
the sea lies quiescent
somewhere you sleep now
lost in that vast realm of dream
copious as the stars above
am i still in your deepest thoughts
does it cause an arm to wander across
in that emptiness is there a longing
we were not ships passing in the night
fools yes and i will leave it as such
perhaps now there is another
i am but a remembrance
surfacing in the days confusion
they say it is better to have loved, lost
but that is a game for philosophers
therein lies no comfort to a sailor
whose thoughts are storms raging at sea
with no ear listening
perhaps you also stare into the heavens
and wonder, such are thoughts
wandering the deck
whose fate is a raging sea
holding you only in moments
when you sleep
i no longer dream
the sea lies quiescent
