Best Travelblue Poems
I want to go across the sea to Dublin.
Immediately is when my journey must begin.
There is a pretty Irish lass waiting for me there.
She has cool blue eyes and lovely red hair.
Here in the states, I miss her all the while.
The lady waits for my return to the Emerald Isle.
My woman is really a great beauty to see.
She gets me higher than a shot of Irish whiskey.
I want to book my Aer Lingus flight.
Over the ocean is where I will fly overnight.
I will arrive at Dublin’s airport before sunrise.
I cannot wait to gaze into those blue eyes.
I want to hug and kiss her, and take her by the hand.
Big 747, I am in a hurry to get to Ireland.
Water, water everywhere! What a spectacular view!
The Master's Hand steers our course as we sail the ocean blue!
Though the billowing waves may toss our man o' war about,
The Master Pilot will keep us safe, of that I have no doubt!
I like to think that the playful dolphins leaping about our bow,
Were trained by The Master Navigator to guide our course somehow!
We've sailed the ocean blue seven months visiting mysterious ports of call,
Savoring The Master Creator's handiwork from Trinidad to Senegal!
Our rigging has been rent in battle midst furious shot and shell,
But our Master Captain's leadership has led us through so very well!
When standing midnight watch on moonlit nights upon the ocean blue,
I'm comforted knowing that The Master Guardian is watching over you!
My supplication to The Master of the Cosmos who directs all from above,
Is that one joyful day I'll hold you in my arms forever more, my love!

“The Blue Lady”
It was a room 316 meters long.
"The Blue Lady" was a beauty, sleek, and very strong.
With spiral staircases from taboo decks,
which aloud me to roam like a little small speck.
The room was the longest, the fastest at sea,
and would glide over waves with greatest of ease;
but would occasionally put her arms to the water
to beat mother natures fierce strong father.
It didn't matter when nature didn't agree;
I would feel alive, fancy, and completely free.
If the room with which I dance was not what I liked,
I could change like a flash and get upon a bike.
The Blue Lady was unique with all of her rooms,
and made me feel sexy under many night moons.
The room that was 316 meters long
was dismantled, sold, and no longer strong.
Form:
Driving along this open Road
Don't know if it's the right way Home
Sun is going down behind me
Golden Fields and Trees beside me
You're smiling with your big blue Eyes
Im starting to dream just for a while
Why are we here?, where we wanna go?
Who has the answers, i don't know
It's a long journy with a lot of surprise
But if the End is coming, we will gonna be wise
A new Morning is coming so fast
I was thinking a lot about my Past
Did i made the right decisions?
What's gonna be my next big Mission?
This little black Bird is singing for me
And i know your Love will be the Key
So we're driving along this open Road
Keep our Head high with hearts full of hope
You take my Hand but this is not Goodbye
Cause we can get through this, You and I
You're smiling with your big blue Eyes
But if the End is coming, I'm gonna be WISE
