Poems
Mar 2015
Ocean
So I find myself standing here
Hundreds of miles from home
With my thoughts akin to fear
And once more, I feel alone
Oh, I miss her far too much
On lonesome nights that should not be
I need only her breath, her touch
She soothes me like the sea
But I must stare at endless blue
A horizon much too long
I'm lost at sea with naught to do
For my swimming skills aren't strong
The waves breathe deeply on the sand
The gulls, they chant her name
I still feel her softness on my hands
Sun, please burn her image in my brain
Far beyond sand castle spires
Titanics slumber, dream and sigh
The treasures other men admire
Dissolve in her blue eyes
The waves will take me back to shore
Or drag me farther out to sea
It barely matters anymore
When the beach is so **** lonely
Water creeps into my nose
I feel like drifting off to sleep
Surrender my breath to Davey Jones
And blind eyed horrors of the deep
Now, I shall dream of only peaceful things
While the Sun burns me to a crisp
I must ignore where it still stings
The spot she last touched my lips
I'll forever miss her more than land
But the oyster hides the pearl
And won't open in my withered hand
While I'm anchored in this world
May the hurricanes and whirlpools
Drag me down to rest
For while in life I was a fool
But in sad dreams I am her best
