my soul is torn like the curtains hiding our truths concealing our fears now I am cleaved across distance beyond reach between hope and hell wed to an anchor of silver chain and golden braids whose heart is cold but nonetheless true lost to the winds of adventure filling my sails with tempests of ecstasy yet ripping love’s canvas of time "Only the dead, have seen the end of war." |

I had a painting once, like this-- the boat was the smallest object in the painting, so overwhelming was the sea. That's what this reminded me of--resilience. Much enjoyed, so thank you.  |

"lost to the winds of adventure filling my sails with tempests of ecstasy yet ripping love’s canvas of time" ~ To be truthful, Sailor, I would have had to quote the entire poem to point out my favourite lines! Well done! You captured the spirit of love and adventure and parlayed it into a wonderful piece of writing!   EA |

Excellent job of love, it's tribulations and the moments of many a sailor...upon the sea, far away from... |

This definitely relates to how I feel when I think I am alone in the world. Sometimes, I think the only one who understands a writer truly is another writer. Great piece! Anne Shiever |
