With the ink of dedication,
I write my dreams
on the paper of my heart; and then,
fold it skillfully enough
to create
a paper boat, so that it may float
on the stream of my soul
until the ink is consumed
by the current underneath;
and blood becomes purple with ambition
to reach the sea of success.
And all this while, my pen waits
on the sea beach
to write a success story
on the sands of time, knowing too well
the waves will eliminate the mark;
but then, the fragrance of my blood
in the sea shall send voyagers
in the direction to discover
my lost paper boat...

I love this.. But somehow when I read it I felt it is missing something.. Perhaps try expanding this more? Overall I find this to be a very solid poem with lines that hint so much.. A lot said and a lot unsaid I love ye small details you included between the line... Wonderfully written with potential to become a masterpiece .. Lovely work poet

The Boat that Never Sinks
Your boat will and has lead others to you, and the only item lost is the pen strokes at high tide - but make your marks again and again, for its message is worth the notes, even knowing "the waves will eliminate the mark"- lovely write

Beautiful piece. To this point I'd only read haiku's you've written (and a one-liner) but you clearly can handle writing many different styles. This piece is just beautiful. Liked the internal rhyme in line 5. The metaphors in this piece were great!!

What a beautiful metaphoric language!! I’m still enjoying how you create this Paper Boat! I’m sure you’ll remain my favorite poet for ever and don’t tell this to anyone: you’re my ideal, sissy
I love both you and your beautiful works
