Gosh Amy, to this day I still feel the sting of embarrassment when remembering how terribly I acted. The late-night storm raged, and the seas were very rough. Blinded by passions fire, I was all but unaware of the real discomfort you were experiencing. I knew we were safe, but you did not. I don’t get sea-sick, but the gale we experienced would make most people uncomfortable. “Sorry” Sailor December 21, 2010

Once again I’ve become lost
some village by the sea
time drags by so slowly
wondering where shall I be
Vivid dreams to quickly ended
reality sparked the morning light
within my arms you slowly melted
just what did I do last night
*
We live on separate planets
miles apart most times of the year
during the early hours of morning
“Just bring in the damn anchor!”
” ……yes dear”
Vivid dreams to quickly ended
reality sparked the morning light
within my arms you slowly melted
what did I think about last night
*
Now sitting by the crossroads
wandering through cobwebs in my mind
seeing your magnificent strawberry hair
images vanishing with time
Vivid dreams to quickly ended
reality sparked the morning light
within my arms you slowly melted
what did I talk about last night
*
Your interest is quickly fading
you lost the love I thought we found
You’ve purged your vivid memory
landing both feet on the ground
Vivid dreams to quickly ended
reality sparked the morning light
within my arms you slowly melted
what did we talk about last night
