The Mary Celeste of My Life

Lost at sea, rudderless
Steaming coffee awaiting lips
gone into eternal mystery
Ghosts of love long vanished
Shipshape sinking soul
A'fouled by waves
of indignant pain
Love lost at sea
Empty vessel sails on
Adrift
Ever adrift
Indifferent to its fate
Destination of no concern
Where has the crew
vanished to?
