Two distant ships
sailing through a sea of dispair
both flying the flag of heartache
and sailing without a star to guide them

unaware of the paths they take
unaware of where their journey will end
only that they are bound for happiness
destined to find love once lost

then one day, one captain gives up
forgetting the quest to find love
letting his ship drift aimlessly
letting fate take over his quest

the other captain unsure of her quest
still hoping that one day she will find love
sails hard into that good night
praying that she will find her true love
then, as if some miracle

then, as if by some miracle, these two ships met
not knowing how it could have been
only that they have found each other
and that their meeting was not of chance, but of destiny

their captains find something special
a spark that ignites something deep inside
a flame of a love once thought extinguished
a burning desire, this fiery passion posesses them

on the deck of her ship, they stand there
holding each other close, praying it will never end
they plot their course, letting their love guide them
sailing away, no longer lonely, but in love


To find love is to know true happiness... to hold the one you love is to hold everything... to look into their eyes is to see a glimpse of heaven... b

LS a wonderful poem, what ocean is this that the captain sails in because I am ready to change course. Really enjoyed the poem.


why must we pray
screaming? why must not death be redefined? we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms and whirl on a pane of glass-patti smith

This is a piece of brilliant portrayal here.

'Two distant ships
sailing through a sea of dispair
both flying the flag of heartache
and sailing without a star to guide them'

The very idea of setting the soul's ship adrift ... works so well.

I enjoyed this very, very much.
Hope to read more of your work.
