Love Poem: Lost Ship

Lost Ship

Our friendship was a ship
on a voyage till old age.


It started at the shore
of love and affection
beneath the night sky
of a cloudy weather.


We went west
back and forth
sailing through 
huddles and tussles,
avoiding rocks 
on the sea of trust.


We anchored firmly against
trembling waves of wrecks,
to prevent sinking
in each other's tears.


Alas,
gloom replaced radiance
when a sudden thrust
of disparity pieced through
the vessel's heart,
letting in an ocean of silence 
in which we both sank 
into our own thoughts,
not knowing what life had brought.
