Suzanne Delaney Poet Free verse

Lost Island of Dreams

Oh! little ship of stars
How you sail on spent dreams
Oars dipped in my torment

Raft of heaven, silent myth  
Sweet rainbow of delight
Float past dreams
That only I can know tonight

Wafts of incense, shadows rent
Candles flicker-dull and bright
Set sails of black my gallant knight

Ice tipped sunbeams,lost island
You were once, my zodiac
Adrift on a selfish  sea
You are not my reality

Sail to the memories, I kiss
Lest  we should both forget
An endless, frozen sea
Between a paradise of bliss
