               Gone  

Thoughts that are a dreamer's net.
Cast into the days sunset.
Held fast by kismet.

Of heart and brawn she was born.
And baptized around the horn.
She was lusty spawn.

Stood the oceans rage as few.
And only she and I knew
The many of her coup.

Named and called the Honey Bee.
Mistress of the mortal me
Lost, downed, lost at sea.

My mind rides before her mast
Ever splicing waters past
Till my bones are cast.

Her heart was given to the sea
Her brawn shriven the mind to free.

I cannot put my finger on exactly what it is about this piece, but such a picture before me, as only you can paint. I think this one deserves to be cherished...and when I find the reason, I'll share it with you...

I do not know what the poem is actually about, but it's surely a good piece, great work.

- James
The beauty of nature is displayed,
not through itself,
but through the creatures
dwelling within its bosom.

well written

The ship's upon the ocean floor
but the aquatic ghosts bubble
to the surface of memory.

Wonderful, my friend.

I liked the first and fifth stanzas very much; wonderful imagery.  The second stanza seemed a little weak, though. And the rhyme that you kept up so well throughout kinda faltered here.  But overall, a very nice piece.
