Speak to me
in muted tones
Words,
like fragrant flowers
bloom
Whisper
to my soaring heart
Intimate thoughts
take over,
consume
For you,
my love,
my one,
my only
Can save me
from my darkened soul
You alone,
can calm the fears
You alone,
can make me whole

They were right on the tip of her tongue
Things she needed to say to him
Perhaps she left them, where they were young
Back in the days when life was a whim
She’s different now, not so perfect
She wonders how it might have been
If he had looked beyond the face
To find the beauty that lied within
The years have passed, and she’s grown old
He’s been gone now, quite some time
How sad the bitter memories remain
Of a girl, now past her prime

The captain was nowhere to be found
It seemed his boat had run aground
Through starlit night and moonlight glow
He vanished in the undertow
Or had he disappeared from sight?
Did he, from his ship, alight?
Has he found his newest haven?
Or been swallowed by his first mate, Raven?
The bird will never tell, my friend
Of how the captain met his end
