Pirate Song

Though time has passed, you remain unforgotten

Our evenings of poetry under starlit skies

When moonbeams illuminated our tale

You were the freedom of blue seas to me

But vanishing cities cannot contain our bond

Or stormy seas wash away lighthouse dreams

Your heart was always the blue sea to me

Now sailing onwards, cobblestones erased

Sweet smiles, kind words, binding me to life

The tides of memory carry you still.

I like the voice here. It sounds like a letter written to someone who used to be close, who you still would like to be close to. Well done.

Thank you Winston. There is perhaps a resilience and hope expressed in this poem, a desire to keep these memories alive despite the distance and the irresolvability of the relationship ,also to find meaning and comfort through this reflective process of accepting loss while maintaining an inner connection with the past :)
