Love Boat

                              …
                              Love
                              Is when
                              A ship returns,
                              Comes home again
                              Where it was meant to be,
                              Safe out of the treacherous waters
                              That sink all those who lose their way
                              ……
                              ……
                              ……
                              But…
My love life is the ship that sinks in sight of land,
    Aided and abetted by my mutinous crew
      Of kindness and honest sensitivity.
        And I, the captain with no sailors,
            The king without his crown,
                Go down with my ship,
                      Wondering why
                        It had to be,
                            And why
                                Me.

      My muse set sail what seems so long ago,
      So I set out to search for it,
      And this was what I found.

      Actually not my best work in my opinion, but I'm glad you like it.

    Omg I absolutely love it!! Awesome boat.. haha

    I had to read it a couple times to get it fully, I'm a bit off on my game today with punctuation and this one is just seeping with it!! I love it though, it is a great write with a powerful ending. Way to go yet again!!!
