Theholycrow Mar 2017
I implore,
“Let this apple roll!”
Deep down below
Beneath the saline waves
There the Ghost Liners lay in rest
Submerged within their rust

The remnants of a forgotten age
Spirit ships adorn the history page
Now claimed by that treacherous flood
The Liners lay intertwined with the mud

The souls they carried were ferried long ago
The shell of the ship remains
Ripped asunder and buried deep
Somewhere off the abyssal plains

Betrayed by the very path they tread
No trace left of their honoured dead
Save for "treasures" scattered across the depths
A divers trophy from the past
A poem about my longtime fascination with shipwrecks.

— The End —
