Down with My Ship

I wrote this poem a while back and it's probably one of my favorites...thought I'd share it with anybody who cares to read it :)

Extending your arms

They beg for my touch

As close as an inch

The pressure's too much

I sense the wind's thoughts

They rage against me

And pull on my heels

To leave for the sea

It's just like before

But this time you stay

I gaze in your eyes

But I'm being swept away

Unlike your leave

It was never my choice

When you walked away

No words with your voice

I can't help but go

My passion has strength

I'm romanced by life

To such a great length

Life seems too short

To live like we do

And so my heart dives

And seeks something new

So loved are the depths

Where no one can breathe

So cold and alone

So lost in the deep

I wish you were here

I'd drink in the storm

Engulfed in desires

You're losing your form

Hold in your breath

And brace for impact

I won't be there

To keep you intact

As you lose sight

I will see ever clear

The blue magnifies

Everything I have feared

If only you knew

The love I control

But life isn't fair

Or so I am told

You're on the bow of

A capsizing ship

Whose mast splinters down

And breaks off the tip

Darling, hold on

I can't just let go

The wind won't give up

It howls with each blow

Your hands are so small

So warm to my lips

I'd love them till death

Go down with my ship

I'm slipping away

I'm losing my sight

Deep in the distance

You're giving a fight

Darling, hold on

I'm losing my grip

My heart yells, "Go down,

Go down with your ship."
