Leaving, for ports unknown, he said

She felt that pang, a silent dread

No longer anchored, her feelings, kept

She watched, then turned and quietly wept

Bracelets around her wrist, a reminder

No matter what, he’d always find her

For she was his reason to come back alive

The only thing he needed, to survive

The long journey’s, carried over the seas

Knowing she’d be waiting, his beautiful Elouise

abstract-772486_960_720
I sail upon the Echo of the Ocean, Sighing

This wondrous Voyage carries me, Flying

Birds drifting with me, Light as a Feather

The Dreams of my soul, Freeing forever

As I glide cross the water, Splashing

And the Waves all around me, Crashing

I’m carried away, on Clouds climbing High

On my Journey into the Faraway Sky

stairs-989408_960_720
Stairs that lead to no special place

Coveted by ivy, moss, and trees

As I glance up to the top of them

I notice someone looking back at me

Eyes of stone, with chiseled lips

Can he be guarding these paces?

Or is it just my state of mind

That leads me to these faces?

The railing beckons me to climb

Pass this realm of rock, asleep

Careful not to make a sound

Up the stairs, I start to creep

Then stop in my tracks along the way

I’m sure that I heard someone say

“The journey is far beyond the stairs
Adventure awaits you, if you dare”

Surely, it’s the whispering wind

That’s driving me insane

For I refuse to believe a rock

Could be calling out my name

Simple Passage

Among the twists and awkward turns

There is a still bridge that never burns

In life, this simple passage awaits

For your return, through an open gate

That never closes, never seals

You journey over, plans revealed

Taking on adventures, far and wide

Leading you, from deep inside

It carries you away, and lets you roam

Till once again, it brings you home

woman-1151025_960_720
Mesmerized by full moon light

Once flaxen haired, now turned to white

An empty boat in harbor waits

Is this her ill begotten fate?

Mist below her, hidden river

Limbs of flesh, begin to shiver

Standing, waiting, upon the pier

Still the boat does not draw near

Could this all be just happenstance?

Should she await another chance?

With a treasure map held in her hand

She seeks to find the Promised Land
