The Crimson Voyage

Dwellin' in the blindfolds of my passion I rely on his rose to gain vision And sail me away into the storm With which life comes, in many a form So to the wind, I throw my caution For his love would find me a platform. Our ship sailed into the ocean of love With many eyes tuggin' at our resolve Probing to see if we'd survive But we paid less regard to their jive And became stronger at every curve For true love will discover it's thrive. Echoes of bells jingled from a distance Lightin' up the seashores with a sun dance It's amazing what true love can achieve For our musings walked upon their sleeves With mouths ajar, they stood in a trance Like old Thomas, they could not perceive. In his light, I'll ride with my knight And delight my soul thru the night For in the mornings of my life He was here, quelling every strife So I'd live long in his crimson sight Old enough, to love him as his wife. ccvanderveldt © July, 2017.
