Lowering the Sails
I ordered my men to drop the anchor
We are staying here tonight
I’m docking my ship by your tears
Will set back to sail when your smile stirs the waves to life again
I see in you the adventures of the richest oceans, the very ones I long to sail the remainder of my life
But it’s hard to navigate through your past and dark memories
You hold the beauty of a young fantasy
Your eyes hold the twinkle of the stars
Yet you fog them like the storm welcoming clouds
How much would it cost you, my heavenly ocean, to smile again?
For that I’ll be willing to sacrifice a quest for the lost treasures of the seven seas
The feminine touch of whisky in the cold nights
And tumble into your arms like an autumn leave
You are a boast of the perfection of the creator
If it so pleases you, make me the mechanic to your flawless body
And I promise to captain you on a maiden voyage to a timeless happiness
For you deserve more than a queen in a ‘live happily ever after’ story
And I am willing to serve you with the care for a royal jewel
Till my breadth fades away.
