calmness cries like crimson squalls
on glassy seas of fortitude
waves beckon, misting tears of night's regrets
hurt'ling crashing sounds against pallid piers

as time rushes through the wormwood decaying
of boat launches in the blackened night
time's deceit mounting like waves of discipline
o'er an unbridled lake of epic lappings

lapping like a cur dog on a summer's sigh
drifting, lifting, sifting the sand from the sea

and a lonely shore is awash with perpetuity
awaiting the tenor of repsonsibility,

and the man-child weeps for his own

Emotions with the power of the sea.
Very descript.

There is a saddness in all the stillness, yet the visuals come to life beautifully.

Really nice work, and I like your title too.

TD,
Thank you for all your concerned comments...appreciated greatly

Margherita,
Thank you for your gracious comments...it is high praise indeed

Alison,
Glad you liked that line...it was one of my favorites...thank you for noticing and commenting on it

RDB,
thank you kindly for your comments

Blues,
Thanks for noticing the title...it came about differently (at least for me) than normal.  Almost named it something else, but I think this title works well for the whole write
