Lost at Sea
~~~
I want to love you back
But I am tossed in a sea
Of tragic lies and let downs
And my arms so very tired
No longer a buoyant trust
~~~
The heart finds no ground
No terra firma
Nary a shore in sight
Though horizons pass
Washed in the wishes
~~~
Any man the fool
To not cherish long
The promise of your love
But the fool is a part
That I have so oft played
~~~
Not everything we lose
Finds its way home again
Sometimes a ship sails
And as fate blows
It never makes a port
~~~

Despite the melancholy of the words and their meaning, this is beautifully written! Great job!
Thanks sis! Love you!
Beautiful, a brilliant analogy that of the ship that taken by the winds, sails eternally, never making port. A most lovely and powerful work indeed my friend.
Thank you, brother Francisco!
You’re welcome Brad!

I love this comparison. I also find myself writing about the sea an awful lot.
“I want to love you back
But I am tossed in a sea

A lie damages a relationship so tragically. It pulls at you and you long to forget but if you are a person of integrity, it is hard, especially if these lies are repeated.
This is beautiful and heartfelt Brad. One of the things my father taught me was integrity, what your word meant. I know some question my sincerity most likely in this community. I understand that too but I am different. My heart is worn upon my sleeve and so is my love. Beautiful love poem with a touch of sadness I wager we all have felt. ❤️ love Jonikins
Thank you, Jonikins!
❤️🤗🥰
Beautiful! I love how you took the emotions of a sailor being lost from his love and translated it to fit your own emotions. Great use of symbolism!
Thank you for your kind words!
