Sail with me

 

Sail with me

these treacherous seas.

Threatening waves

dance in graceful ballet,

whilst we sway, salty, windswept,

but not shipwrecked,

across unfathomable depths,

in love I hold you tight.

Fear not the waves, for our

stories are tied. And I'll be

your buoyancy device,

if we fall overboard -

and you will hold me

if I get too cold.

 

Let us be swept,

a boat on this life.

Rain pelting our cheeks

as the storms sit - menace in their eyes.

For there is no calm in the storm

only on the outside.

So we will ride the storm clouds.

Rid ourselves of fright,

surf the lightning,

before it gets a chance to strike.

Love will show us the path is right,

and I love you with every

heartbeat of my life.

 

I'll hold the wheel, whilst you

sleep away strain. I'll soak in the rain,

to keep you dry and safe.

Will you do the same

when I need to breathe?

You can sail us free,

and I'll be there just watching you,

tears of joy soaking through

my cheeks like an everlasting

invisible tattoo. A rose and a heart.

My love for

the flower that is you.

 

And together we can

sail by starlight,

across glassy mirrors,

reflecting the heaven's beauty

for only our eyes to witness.

And we can paint lines between the stars,

whilst I paint hearts upon your skin

with the kiss of my tongue.

Follow them right into dreams.

For life by your side

is a fantasy that can never be wrong.

 

So keep watching the starlight with me.

And I'll watch magic reflect in your eyes,

whisper me direction, guide when I am lost.

 

And when your mind is burdened by life

I'll be your mattress where you can lay out

your hopes and fears in torn pages.

And I'll show you

that fear isn't needed. That those pages

can become boats instead.

And hope's coasts

will become reality if we just follow

the right stars, instead of dead ghosts.

I'll sing songs of revelation

to keep you entertained,

if you enter in fully to this dream

and never let yourself stray.

 

For they can be our compass

in that long night of learning.

And we will feel

the ice in our hearts,

the fear in our lungs burning.

The shadows will shout

as the night-time comes,

but I promise, those seas will

settle and our hearts will thaw,

for time has plans for us,

awaiting on our own private shore.
