There is a sail boat in my heart
With a sail that's heart shaped
You are it's compass on it's journeys
Beneath darkened skies it's draped

It's now lost in stormy waters
Where you left me at sea
The ropes to the sail fall apart
Your slowly the breaking of me

The sail is strewn across the deck
My boat is lost as it's hull breaks
It's wood is rotting it's mast falls
Drifting into more heartache

I’m broken in ravaged waters
As once again my love departs
Leaving my wreckage behind
Oh broken sail boat in my heart

Inspired by Arlo Disarray's poem Little Sailboat in my Heart. Arlo write's some great verses.

I used to know this guy called big Sam Bellamy
Made many mistakes in life, his own worse enemy
Not a true friend in the world to share his lonely life
Has no children to speak of not even a girlfriend or a wife
People in the streets would laugh and point there finger at him
Always behind his back they where laughing and bickering
But then one Saturday evening he bought a ticket for the lottery
And as the numbers came out, what happened he couldn't believe
Big Sam had all the numbers his ticket was a massive jackpot
Not bad for someone who was treated like a loner or a crackpot
Now all the sad people with two faces want him as a friend
They say 'Sam you are my true friend' in disguise they pretend
And poor old Sam thinks these people are so honest and true
When they say 'Hey big Sam we have always loved you'
Needing love and so open for warmth, Big Sam Bellamy
Made many mistakes in life, his own worse enemy

Forlorn and ashen faced he sits on the bench
Tears in his eyes and a personal hygiene stench
From his bottle of whiskey he gulps and swigs
Eyes bloodshot hands shaken for another fix
Shoes with gaping holes and shirt sleeves stained
Memories dissipated in a constant haze he remains
A coat with buttons missing and his collar is tattered
Yesterdays young dreams utterly shattered
His hand shakes as he reaches into his pocket
To reveal a bottle of tablets, one last suicidal rocket

But help is at hand with a police station over the road
No more darkness like a dreary song by Depeche Mode
We need to fill in some paperwork the officer says
Ask you some questions, some more pen pushing delays
Listen this man is going to **** himself I said
His blood will be on your hands if he ends up dead
I walked out and sure enough an officer was deployed
This needless pen pushing paper work makes me annoyed
Overpaid political dinosaurs out of touch with reality
Another number brush it under the carpet, just another fatality

Please will you smile
I'm in heaven with my feelings
Is this just a dream
Cos seeing is believing

Please I want to hold your hand
Lets dream as we run across the sand
All I want is to look into your eyes
With beauty as deep as dark as night
My hands will caress your Dark hair
I will love you and show I care

For one little kiss
I will give you all this
For you it's my duty
My so perfect beauty

I hear the rain when it falls
I feel the sun when it shines
I will be there when you call
I will always dream you'll be mine

Rewrite of a very old poem. 7/10/2015

Glistening in the radiant display
Are memories of the man she lusts?
In the shop where eternity was bought
Her memories now turn to dust

Tears swell up in her eyes
Heartfelt pain echoes in her life
A love that once blossomed
Of being his loving wife

Fate can wear so many disguises
And fate has many twists and turns
But in the end her true love was lost
And in the end her heart got burnt

Last night when I went to bed
I had the most wonderful dream
I dreamt we both fell in love
I was King and you where Queen
I could lavish you with so many gifts
Playing my loving caring part
But the biggest gift of them all
Came from my loving heart
I could give you my whole kingdom
But that's not what love should be
For you already carry my gift
To my heart you hold the key
