To the sailor I loved..



You’ve sailed across the ocean far, far away from land; the land which grows wild flowers.
Oh! The splashing of the waters still ringing in my ears.
Bringing back the tune of our long lost love which I once cherished;
a tune from those forgotten days.

You the Lord of the sea; knew all heights and depths.
Saw a world of waters which I could only imagine.
I stood between those wild flowers covering my feet under dry sand of the coast;
 Waiting for you to flush me with sweet salt waves.

At night I light up the lamp;
A light those flies of dark bewitched.
Yet Thy eyes together that saw only a stone’s throw, were fixed upon far,
 Far on a burning luminescent star.

I prayed for a tragedy, for love only wishes terrible fantasies.
A disabled heart and a burning spirit salvaged.
With those jewels elevated,
Into the wilderness I rushed.

Neptune the star of the sea, who’s light, is heard far beyond the sea; Sheds its grace on weary seamen souls.
Reminds me the eyes of our unborn child; carried away by the waves on a moonless night.
I stare at the deep down ocean wishing to see your faded face.
Often I left with nothing but the sound of the whales.
Yet I stare; stare until I vanish in to the air.
For everything I once held dear; are now all in the waters forever.
