Love Poem: Empty Ships and Fools

Empty Ships and Fools

empty vessels sail 
the vast Sargasso Sea
tides and currents carry 
what lost horizons see

in azure-blue waters 
circling sharks seek appease 
linger not sleeping
beneath churning deceitful seas

many men aboard 
disappeared from sight
fancies liberated
vanished in the night

avarice prowls open seas
devoured by abyss
love and fools disappear
aboard their sinking ships
