The Acid Sea

I sail upon an acid sea
Each day dissolves a part of me
Taking toll each moments time
Aging me back into grime

And though I rub a lanterns wish
Its only night I feel the swish
That takes me into fantasy
From agony to ecstasy

Its here surcease flies a dove
Its here I find my phantom love
Its here I walk my Islands shoal
Its here I furnish for my soul

And who’s to say the right or wrong
The world of which I would belong
A world who’s only entry fee
The time of life that’s given thee

So build your castle in the sand
Your Shangri-la or Samarkand.

Time, it rushes by so incredibly quickly.  Your message is crystal clear and your words are penned to perfection.  Simply a fantastic bit of writing.  I found myself reading it several times in a row.  It works well and really displays your incredible ability to write.  

With warm regards this Thursday morning,

"I sail upon an acid sea

~ Ooo! This hurts! But I suppose there is a silver lining to this scenario! ~You are enriching the sea with your fine essence! ~
Ooo! That's real bad! Sorry, it's just that this stanza has left me discombobulated! It's so real and so disquieting.

I want you sailing on top of the sea with the warm tropical winds filling your sail!
I'll join you on the bow and we can shout to the world that we are king and queen of the world!

You never cease to elicit strong emotions from me with your poetry!

Sail away, Sir Sonneteer!

Every man should have a dream, Sy...
as should every woman.

I find much comfort in knowing
I am not alone in my dream time...

Wow, the contrast of your two poems today.  I think I'd rather take the fantasy!   ...jo
