Love Poem: Ellen's Raft

Ellen's Raft

Ellen's Raft

We sit above the darkened sea
A bench, my thoughts, and lonely me
Black waves rise igniting fear
And crash against my concrete pier

The mindful storm tears at me
No moon, no stars, just my sea
White caps pushed to meet the sky
Higher and higher the waves try 

Rescue her from that storm 
Deliver her dry and warm
