Reaching X

A Poem by grayday104

A sailor racing home

Please tell me all you wish to hear
Daybreak is looming and I'm lost in my fear
Dawn is swiftly drawing close
We have the wine why not a toast?
To life good fortune and all that is grand
As I secretly whisper I'm meaning your hand
I look to you tender and you start to smile
I know I can't have this just for awhile

I love her I need her i won't hesitate
I'll storm at the seas as I fight against fate
May the waters be warned
This lover won't wait!

Yo ho ho longed love and it's woe
The sea once home now a perilous foe
The skies blacken as the winds howl
But I'll reach my X no matter the how

Rampage on the water lover at sea
Neptune himself can't impede me
Scylla, serpents, a seaman's bet
I'll beat any burden the waves beset

Buccaneers and the raging weather
Fighting Poseidon to be together
Assailing the tide to see my home
I ire with storms as I race in my mourn

The waters my perils
That I should beware of
A hurricane blowing
But I can't be slowing
Daring the sea
As I'm frightfully glee

Affection for the one I barely know
In sweet short time I've begun to glow
She but far but I feel her near
Tenderly I speak of my precious dear
I'd travel the world to she her shine
To have her, to hold her, love her as mine

Berating behemoths his heart full of dreams with
A race to the face
Our suspense in his chase
His fight with Poseidon
A rage that's inside him
One seaman's bet and his longing regret

His fight to find X is nearing a close
Departing the sea and leaving his woes
On dry land now he races,he runs
Just so relieved his voyage is done
A rage to the end for a smile that saves
A sailor, a lover, his tale on the waves
