The Seaman Finds His Lighthouse

Out at sea, facing a dark heartfelt storm. Heading for a lighthouse, taking him home. Looking at a lit place, over the Hill. Music and laughter, the night was not still. In a mood for company, He went in. Walked to the bar an ordered a Tonic and Gin. Slow music playing as He sat alone. Finished his drink and was headed for home. A lovely lady walked over to him. Introduced herself, and smiled with a grin. A once in a lifetime moment in time. His love had arrived, could this be a sign? Feelings he felt his heart couldn't keep pace. He looked in her eyes, and heavenly face. "Oh what desires you created in me." "I was a lonely seaman out at sea." You were the lighthouse that I searched for. Holding you close and forever adore. Michael Tor 6/12/2023

Hi Michael, I love the metaphors in this and am so sorry I didn't see it earlier. I just recently started understanding how every one figures out the poem of the day here. DUH. God bless and keep on writing.

Congratulations on POTD! Anchors away my friend. Having been a fleet sailor for six years, I can assure you that your romantic verse hit the nail right on the head. Universally felt among my shipmates although never an outcome as wonderfully expressed as yours. Robert

Now why doesn't Robert Louis Stevenson ever have nice scenes like this in any of his seafaring tales? A very enjoyable read, Michael, and congrats on POTD.
