O’ heart so fine in charcoal skies
of breath my mind does see
This captured feeling locked inside,
alone as to believe


For what shall come of morning tides,
along the wish filled shore
In seashell decorated time
to want your love once more


What sent this ship of harbor dreams
to sail a course so lost
As currents bide my every whim,
now simplified the cost


When once the sunrise happiness
did take a weathered turn
For but a few words offered up
in lessons I have learned


My sails, the moon’s reflective light,
does glow an empty grin
Atop the wave’s deserted flight
to want you here again


For this shall be my journey true
in aimless rambled roam
If I have not the love of you
I sail these seas alone


Of courses kept in lock and key,
an island beach does call
Upon this deck on bended knee
Amidst the darkened squall


As life will raise its mighty hand
of you that I do seek
Collapsing firm upon this man
in testaments of weak


Come set these chains that hold me tight,
my body craves the pain
As on these seas of bright moon light
I cry within the rain


When time does dance and hours pass,
I plead to charcoal skies
Explain to me how this can be
in scenes before my eyes


“Take me home,” my heart does plead
begin this journey new
For I now live a nightmare’s creed
without the love of you
