For what shall come of morning tides

Anyone up for sailing?

~

Pure 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 a little 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

aglow an empty grin

Atop the wave’s deserted flight

to want this love 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,

where island beaches call

Upon this deck on bended knee,

the darkness comes to fall

As life shall raise its mighty hand

of you that I do seek

Collapsing firm upon this man

in testament so 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 minutes dance and hours pass,

I plead to desperate skies

Explain to me how this can be

in scenes before my eyes

Take me home, my heart does scream,

begin these days anew

My life it lives a wayward dream

without the love of you

I am happy you liked this one.

I very much enjoy the Romantic style and the rhythm of Keats' "La bell Dame Sans Merci"... those things alone are a pretty damned awesome poem and a delight to read. You've cut a diamond here, sir.

So poetic, and a lovely write to boost.
I love the ocean/river/sea, just by being near water.
You did a splendid write here.

Sailing lost to find your love which never comes to be....your vivid imagination once again...a ship of dreams... to love someone, to share the voyage, but alas it does not come true as darkness falls it seems you're left alone... you're metered style is so beautiful Will...all the words fit in perfectly...
and acrimoniously.
Warmly, B
