waves of tremored goodbyes

waves of tremored goodbyes

 

 

bailing water

out of the tears

in the boat of fractions

and fracture

grief the anchor

 

I am the ship of discontent

so many mates

gone overboard.

Love to see your creative mind at work! This is brilliant... makes me wonder, will I ever regret having made so few friends in this life. Great execution!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

As long as they are really good friends, I doubt you will ever regret having the ones you have...they are special.
thank you, Travis,

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

That they are, truly.

[barleygirl]

Your poem makes me wonder if this scattered discombobulation is part of growing old, losing friends & so many becoming forgetful of connections (((HUGS)))

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, I think it is, Margie...I do think it is.
thank you for your insight,

We are all at times bailing water to prevent our ship sinking. When we lose people we love, it often feels as though the boat isn't going to stay afloat. The waters of life are rocky.

A quite somber offering here. We lose many people in the course of life, and I think that is the impetus behind the poem. We all have our own "boat of fractions and fracture," with which we must come to terms.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, and several of them at such a young age...
in their twenties...thank you, John,

Perhaps as Captain of a Ship... you are meant to have a
number of Mates. The Seas are there to explore the fathoms
where treasures lie underneath the green blue waves...
Your poetry is written in dreams that longitude decides...
tenderly, Pat
