without a trace

lowly waves pound at the ebony night

like a dull ache that throbs in orbital sight

nothing ever seen

only the seven sea

 

and I give up on knowing
how could our love just fade
like when the darkness dies away


starboards out to dawning's light
and again I am out of sight

as spinnaker screams

she’s tacks in the crest of the waves

 

her match met, never was love a regret

she whirls in my dreams

fall below as if to drown

 

a flood in waves of emotion
it is hard to swallow I'm goin down

that position consumes and threatens

in the course of desire

 

the passion
deep within
torrents surge

 

 

they overwhelm

no words can ever portray

the thoughts that were guarded
delusions insecure


only hope could endure
now set sail and retreat like the dawn
leave without a trace

disappear from her existence

Author's Notes/Comments: 

recently, I had occasion to go a sailing, these words came to mind while away at sea

sometimes love's a sinking ship and you gotta grab a life boat and bail or drown

Amen,

to that Ashley,

I am afraid it ( the poem) is a bit too cliche' ( as I feel most of my poems are) I can't help it though, I will write as long as I am physically able.

FULL CLICHE AHEAD!

Peace

Dylan

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
