~
A 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 your love once 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,
does glow an empty grin
Atop the wave’s deserted flight
to want you here 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,
an island beach does call
Upon this deck on bended knee
Amidst the darkened squall
As life will raise its mighty hand
of you that I do seek
Collapsing firm upon this man
in testaments of 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 time does dance and hours pass,
I plead these charcoal skies
Explain to me how this can be
in scenes before my eyes
“Take me home,” my heart does call
begin this journey new
For I now live a nightmare’s creed
without the love of you
