Gry Christensen Poet Verse

The Anchor

I once loved
an anchor
one of those
that sails
on skin
one of those
that has 
a rowing heart
and pelting blood
within


One of those
who blows
mussel covered
kisses
one of those
that tells
mermaids salty lies
one of those
who'll
go down with
rum and shackles
the day he finally
dies.

Light & Love Gry Christensen July 21, 2014 at 4:21 PM Hi Debbie, Thank you very much! This is written to a good friend as an inside joke :)..................not a form I normally work with. I am originally from Scandinavia and we have a lot of irony, sarcasm, "dark" humour over there.
