In the breakers misty blow
the same old heartache strikes again
a heavy swelling in my throat
far away from tender hands.
In a sure way I'll stay cold
on a windswept deck away
from the memories big and bold
of a golden yesterday.
A piece of heaven in my soul
turns to memories of the past
where a distant fire glows,
a lovelight candle calls me back.

Here I stand alone again
ten thousand sailing miles away
with a cold and restless wind
blowing on my tear stained face.
Echoes roaming through my mind
loving times at port of call
from the girl I left behind
on the shores of Montreal.
There's no lighthouse to be found
no sacred papers made for me
away from her I'm ocean bound
sailing on a cold gray sea.

In the breakers misty blow
the same old heartache strikes again
roaming round my empty soul
the same old heartache greets the end.

I absolutely LOVED this one...and these in particular

A piece of heaven in my soul
turns to memories of the past
where a distant fire glows,
a lovelight candle calls me back


So warm and touching....great work keep it up!!!

this is sad but SO beautiful
you have written it with perfect imagery
and the emotions run deep and are touching...
which is what I like so about your poetry,
the way your express your emotions with grace
take care jm

Great poem, I know how difficult it is to be away from loved ones, it is a very real experience, making this poem emotive, tragic, yet true - a great combination of things to have in a poem, well written thanks .
