There dockside
I’m watching her sail away
Water ride
Through the morning mist of day,
Exiting the bay’s wide mouth
Wordlessly watch the ship now in shrinking,
Heading farther off to south
Of our parting words my mind is thinking
By the moons mirror pool,
There you left alone
Flames of desire now cool,
Cold down to the bone.
I could not go home,
Just a wandering lost fool
Till beside the shore eyes blinking
Distance increasing with the slow passing day.
By morning
You might be gone three hundred miles away
And mourning
Here inside my heart you’ll forever stay.

Gloom

Ah, Gloom, like ships that pass in the night...I appreciated the pictures that came to mind here, and thank you for the read...~S~

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~~S~~

I could feel your sinking feelings as she sailed off into the distance. A very touching write by a graceful hand.
