Far beneath the ocean,
In a cold and watery grave,
Lies the once majestic ship,
One that more than a few had bragged,
Not even God himself could sink.

It was her maiden voyage.
A celebrity she had become.
The poor,
The rich,
The in between,
They sailed on her as one.

But fateful day she met her doom,
On a cold and bitter morn.
Her elegance would see demise.
Titanic would sail no more.

So now the sea and all its life,
Are all the dwell aboard.
Yet ghostly tunes of the band that played,
In darkness can be heard below.

Juliet~
Very nice read on the ship of fascination.

I wrote this last year and thought
you might enjoy reading it.


Titanic Lovers
~*Marge Tindal*~

Sailing to
eternity
lost
tossed
upon
the sea

Sightless lovers
dance no more
entombed
instead
on
oceans
floor

'neath
the
cover of
the sea
Titanic lovers
melody

plays
oh,
so
hauntingly





~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~
