A moss covered valentine lays upon a tombstone ---
Forgotten sentiments are stenciled upon it's fabric ---
Hopes and plans for the future,
in which to drink love's potion has elapsed ---
Leaving in it's place this elixir ---
Which turned out to be of sepentine's blood ---
So now what once was a stroll of romance,
has become a walk to a sullen grave.
How did it come to this?
Sitting on a terrace counting how many
Ships are anchored in the bay.
I know most of the ships especially
The coastal runners, the big trawler has left an ugly ship
With a crew of the last chance saloon
No self-respecting seafarer would join a ship
That empties the ocean of life.
How did it come to this?
I am watching ships come and go in the bay of Cascais.
My plans for the future have been overtaken
By the veracity of the day
To an extent I know who I am
But, who is it that I wish to be?
What is it in life I have to do
before the answer is given to me?
I sit back and listen as people talk on
with their plans for the future thought out
I want to do something but, what i'm not sure
I just want to be on the right route
I feel so pressured, like my time's running out
rushing to find where my future will lead
When really the truth is: I've found my direction
In time is where i will go to suceed.
Form:
Feel a flutter deep within
do not think cupid will play
my heart is arythmic, blood is thin
heart condition here to stay.
Hope the surgery be survived
cannot do plans for the future
would wish and hope and stay alive
life ebbs-away through bad sutures.
Need good surgeons to do good job
this sex-change dear, will take some time
if they fail , I'm not worth five bob
told "don't worry" all will be fine.
