Inspired by Gossling

Because the theme of the week has now become the theme of my life I want to share the below poem I wrote when  I heard the song Paper Boat by Gossling, I was unable to find a video to upload but have included a link where you can hear it. It is a beautiful song....

I carved out a boat for you

A boat made of wood

I painted it in the colour of my heart

And stained it with the varnish of truth

The boat will carry you

Upon the seas of my love

Where I will be your current

And I will be your waves

My body will be intertwined in your net

My breath will get caught in your sails

My desire will be tied in your knots

And when you leave my shores

I will be your anchor

That drags heavy behind you

Held fast and buried in the sand

Because my longing wants you to
Stay wrapped in my arms
Forever

IS THIS FATE?

Like silent movies

The black and white memories

Move quickly

In love you love

But there is no love

The world is crushing

With thoughts and expectation

The returning

The fate

Time creates space

Given up love

The folding of cards

Loving is hard

Losing the game of passion

Fear lying on the table

It has returned

Broken memories are swept

Under the worn rug

With the invisible broom

That hangs in the cupboard near

My heart

Eyes like deep swirling whirlpools

Catching the spirit in the current

As tear drops fall on the inside

Flowing downward

As time and space are forgotten

Filling, the dam lying in the bottom

Of the lungs

Drowning the spirit in a deep

Salty fluid

Flooding every drawn breathe

The reflection of the water

The body standing on the edge

Looking deep into the eyes

Scared to jump into the current

Whispers of love float on the top

Clouds gather

The hand releases a little boat

The breeze from the heart

Directs it to the horizon

At the back of the mind

The sun from the soul falls

Toward the horizon

The sky speaks

The swirling water stands still

Things will never be the same again

The screams go unheard

As the boat begins to sink
