Parmenion Posted August 15, 2005 Report Posted August 15, 2005 (edited) Looking through logs I wonder, At the ports I've called my home, I'll not again berth in them, Yet I'll never be alone. But one port stood out diff'rent, Like a jewel in strong moonlight, Her bay shaped like a curving smile, Her spires' unique delight! My life this cloth and timber, My direction is my wheel, Home port this gorgeous lady, Whose heart I tried to steal. Emotions are the winds of life, Calm or strong in sail, Navigation maps my logic, See me safe through any gale! I traded cargo to her, And fair winds they came my way, I would make her as my North... But my maps would go astray! <-- comedy I nestled in her harbour, On those long hot sunny days, Dreamt of pirates off her coast, I'd sink or set ablaze! My heart this cargo in me, My memories - ship's logs. Oceans see opportunity, Lost in Fate's fickle fogs, The crew my friends and family, Sail me safe through any storm, But home port I hear her calling, To repair me back to form! The seas and squalls they led me, Onto cities fair and bright, Yet none have held her charm, Or looked as stunning in moonlight. There's cargo in my hold for her, Her course still in my maps, But if I'll harbour in her port... We'll have to see...perhaps... Edited August 15, 2005 by Parmenion
Beautiful Nightmare Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 *hugs* Maybe one day you'll find you match. You never know it might of been her but your Queen may still be out there waiting for you to sweep her off her feet. You have learned from this as i have learned from mine and although it hurts it may help you in the future. It hurts so much right now... though you may hide it sometimes i know it hurts you, it still hurts me. So im hoping we can look back on this in a year and discuss it and laugh, because although you know it was for the best its still going to leave a nasty scar on your pirates face.. another scar tells another tale! *hugs again*
WrenWind Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 Your talent is showing. *smiles* very catchy i can almost hear is sung by the crew of a ship on thiere way into the harbour.
Regel Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 (edited) I really enjoyed this on several levels Parmenion. The metaphors and analogies aside the work obviously speaks of a special relationship. Having heard from both your first mate and a member of your crew I would also like to sign on. Good Captain, if the story of your life was a book it would still be in the early chapters. As an avid reader I would bet that this chapter maybe over for now but the theme will be revisited some day with a crew and good captain well seasoned. Well done my friend.
