Description
I am but your vessel
As we traverse through time
One that just rekindles love
While never knowing mine
I am the keeper of broken hearts
Harbor for wounded souls
Careening barnacles from your spirit
The balm that heals the holes
You'll bathe within my currents
And release the you inside
I'm the one the gives you love
In me your heart confides
As I touch upon your window
I open your closed doors
I'm the one that helps you reach
Showing you there's more
I help you as you raise your sails
To tie them straight and firm
I'm the one, who catches tears
Keeps you safe while you relearn
I hold you steady on your course
And keep you brave and true
I show you that your love's out there
The one that's made for you
When out on the horizon
You see your ship come in
I shall have to let you go
A kiss blown leeward wind
With bittersweet remembrances
I change my course towards land
And watch you as you sail away
With your new love hand in hand
As I sit upon the sands of time
Watching skies change hue
I'm reminded that I showed you love
All this I did for you
Through mornings misty fog I hear
A familiar creaking sound
A shipwrecked heart with tattered sail
Knowing once again I'm bound
Reaching out with a gentle hand
To the wail of nautical chains
Cradled within my loving arms
Whispering my hearts refrain
I am but your vessel
As we traverse through time
One that just rekindles love
While never knowing mine

This is so beautifully lyrical and poignant prose! Bravo!

Although the image was rather 'plain' the imagery evoked from the poem is just lovely, especially for a poem. It tugs at the heart :-)

Superbly written piece! Reminds me of the old, Moody Blues song, MELANCHOLY MAN. May YOUR ship soon come in. (Thanks kindly for your nice comment on my latest piece. T.P.).

Beautiful poem Michele. I also miss love very much. Having been a widower now for several years, I feel jealous of others that still have that. Don't get me wrong, I'll always love my Robin.. But I do miss being on the active receiving end sometimes. I'm not chasing it yet, but may soon. Need to get a few things in order before I go into full pursuit mode..lol. "All you need is Love" isn't completely accurate, but it sure helps. I'm a big softy in matters of the heart. In fact, I cry everytime I see "50 First Dates". I'm a big fan of (pardon the phrase) Chick Flicks..heheheh. Well.. on to more of Michele's windows of her Mind.. Hopeing the next one is romantic.. Hugs from Dave :^)
