Lowering the Sails

I ordered my men to drop the anchor We are staying here tonight I’m docking my ship by your tears Will set back to sail when your smile stirs the waves to life again I see in you the adventures of the richest oceans, the very ones I long to sail the remainder of my life But it’s hard to navigate through your past and dark memories You hold the beauty of a young fantasy Your eyes hold the twinkle of the stars Yet you fog them like the storm welcoming clouds How much would it cost you, my heavenly ocean, to smile again? For that I’ll be willing to sacrifice a quest for the lost treasures of the seven seas The feminine touch of whisky in the cold nights And tumble into your arms like an autumn leave You are a boast of the perfection of the creator If it so pleases you, make me the mechanic to your flawless body And I promise to captain you on a maiden voyage to a timeless happiness For you deserve more than a queen in a ‘live happily ever after’ story And I am willing to serve you with the care for a royal jewel Till my breadth fades away.
