Child of the Storm              2017

lifes passage is a storm
that weighs heavy on my bow
and I cant believe
where these broken seas
have taken me now
I wake and find you are gone
I awake and find I’m alone in the dawn
old man got lost in the woods
writing his books
did him no good in the end
it’s my friend in the forest
could you come clear
ill drink from you now
a broken heart
like a ship falls apart without love
but stills sails on
and weeps for you now
each and every day
the light will never be the same
your reflection
is always fading
but I still cant stop comparing
every thing to when you were here
every touch to when I held you near
lost in a sailors dream
don’t know what it means
under a yellow moon
and a cool breeze
drifting in my boat
tied myself up in ropes again
this solitary game I play
like the feel of drowning
and just getting away
I hold myself under water
to see what makes me strong
longer each time
until the bubbles disappear
I saw myself as a little boy
he was right there by my side
i held him in the aquamarine bath
he had eyes of pearls
and only saw the beauty in this world
