Marina Ferreira Oct 2013
By Justice Kesinger

I am looking for a word that means my love
and a place for a boat
where I don't need a moat
to be in a castle
that no one can breach

I always thought that she was far beyond my reach
but here I am
down by the marina
on the dock
where no clouds can block the full moon in front of me
I never thought I would see the day
I wouldn't need the series of lies I told myself in the morning to keep me at bay
Now I wake up knowing she's there
Soft touch and the smell of her hair
who would have guessed a fear of water
would lead me to drown in Marina

— The End —
