The Sailor

Once upon a time
in a far away land
there lived a sailor
who fell in love with a man.

After years of traveling
wondering the sea
she found a place to call home
and he held the key. 

Giving it all up 
for the man her heart chose, 
he rewarded her with a kiss
and a vibrant red rose. 

Together they vanished 
into the moments in time
that created their future
one memory at a time.
