Solemn sapphire nights;
cottony clouds cover an illuminating moon;
she waits for her lovers return.
Heart heavy with sorrow;
her body desiring his touch,
numbed and lethargic.
She sighs, guiding sails with melancholy breezes.
The loneliness detestable;
she whispers a prayer into the night confident,
it will travel with the wind to her lovers ears.
Ship's of aberrations taunt her, passing in the night,
elevating her torment as she waits.

The last line in the second stanza is just EXCEPTIONAL. When reading this, it reminded me of a movie... and it's just so dramatic and capturing. Amazing work.
Thanks for entering & good luck!
