Drifting

Draw me a horizon with purple ink,
Painting the sunrise; a treat to our eyes
So weary watching the world sink.
Let me sit afloat in paradise.

Why, let me bask in endless rays,
And set me adrift, trusty ship,
Peacefully for a thousand days,
And may I never stir or quip.

And may I never look to shore,
The blur of sights beyond my lids.
Life, a trite and meaningless bore,
Something my peaceful mind forbids.

Oh! This is so good!! I really love this phrase

Draw me a horizon with purple ink,
Painting the sunrise; a treat to our eyes

You've got my vote!

Very nice.  You've got my vote.

And let me watch the setting sun.
Dream of the day we are one.
When nights are long and days are endless.
How very strong my only friend is.

You know...
There is much energy thriving in the sea...
you harness the power well here. TD

actually, i didn't really think about this poem, i just wrote what sounded nice, loosely based on the idea of daydreaming.

I didn't know how the Book Submissions thing worked; I just checked it without question! Now that I know about it; great idea! Thanks to all who voted. :-)

many many poems will come. hehe.
