The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

I needed to write another poem as I haven't in the last couple sas so here it is. Inspiration for this one was a really crappy day. I know you'll all understand the symbolism.

 

 

Sailor

 

As I ride the sea

A sudden torrent surges

It sweeps across the deck

Causing my footing to falter

 

I try to stand and

Am knocked down again

The waves increase

Pinning me to the deck

 

I struggle to my feet

Intent on winning this struggle

I lash my self to the helm

In an effort to stay aboard

 

The waves crash over me

Now drowning me at every one

They increase in intensity

They threaten to pull me free

 

The lashings break

As I am swept away

I reach out trying to find

Something to save me from this fate

 

Nothing to save me

Nothing to help me

Just another sailor

Lost on life’s seas

 

Description edited - no need to offend multiple groups of people explaining what it isn't...

Good poem by the way. :D keep writing!

You aren't as bad as you seem to think you are.

Oo neat symbolism. Especially this part:

 

Just another sailor

Lost on life’s seas

 

That part really stuck with me, I like the imagery.

 

Thank you for sharing.
