Shipwreck
Life breaks on a tenuous shoal
Heartaches vex shipwrecked
soul
Rocky outcrop slashing at
each, bleached sole
In choppy waters, teetering
mast o'er limp body doth troll
Peering into foggy abyss,
undulating currents of angst so
droll
Hope wanes as tearful waves
from calcified funnels roll
Briny mist over resonant
dreams doth scroll
Tides dredge seaweed earlier
missteps did dole
On the horizon, clouded visions
turning black as coal
From a distant, but reachable,
harbor a fog light doth patrol
But encroaching shadows
eclipse as endearing fate doth
cerebrally cajole
Faint sound from a beckoning
barge doth wandering ears
enroll
But the boisterous waves of
doubt resound a dreary toll
Cresting above life's
sorrows, in the distant ocean
a succoring atoll
But shackling cares girdle my
feet pulling me into the
undertow
A dry, temporal sanctuary in
my corroded senses to stroll
Morphing into insane mirage
as the angry torrents
remaining wits poll
