I’m a sinking ship,
Set adrift upon a sea.
A sea of blue…
Blue as a faded tattoo
Of a long forgotten love.
Blue as a lost soul,
Or a fresh broken heart.
Blue as a distant mountain
Bereft of detail,
It’s only purpose to block the view
Of the path’s destination.
Blue as the ice,
That sits within my heart
Since the wind took you –
An ill wind that blew me no good.
The roof of my house is red.
The blood that gives me life, is red.
My favourite t-shirt is faded – red.
When I close my eyes, I see red.
The past is rusty, and red.
The fire that keeps me warm, is red
She is my life –
She is red.
warm, tender and shared
this life is forgotten here
until our release.
seldom comes a sign
let the waters cleanse your soul
throw caution to sea
summer moon lingers
her pale beauty defies blue
peace is delivered
I watched the sun rise
On New Year, not new season.
I still sweat the same
My worries are not allayed
A saviour stands beside me
