Smooth Sailing

This is the flow of Cynic wit,
But here, within, I tell no lies
Whom so patient to idly sit,
And observe the passer-by?
In the Night, like ships we pass,
A silent break in the waves me make
Frigid waters in iron-cast,
And in my Heart there sticks the stake!

*A nod to Poe :)

Chan The Man Such a powerful and emotional write. You always know how to put words together to make the readers think and feel something. Nice job Thanks for the silly and sweet comment on my Busy Christmas poem. Hugs
