Mariner Hearts

Set sail up the sea of swelling passion
two hearts piloting together towards that isle
where they will bring the cargo of the love
to build a honeymoon so caring and lasting
and dwell so full of bliss inside its enchantment,
as the lair of intimacy that sings in the soul.

But gales ride the horizon,
all the tempest winds blow against the dream,
slowly the passage loses its rudder,
masts where trust were the rigging
snap under the force of hurricanes
who strain and tug against the lace of finger.

Eventually driven off course
until that ship strikes the reef
that so many other vessels
ended up destroyed and sinking.

In the waters the two are separated
hands simply slip away,
they land on different beaches,
soaked and sobbing from their failed cruise.

Somehow when the sun shines on their face
there comes a bitter light of reality,
aware this journey had no real chance for success,
how the warning were ignored.

Now stranded spirits weep
on a mourn stained distant shore,
unable to attempt another voyager
since the perils only brought so much pain.
