Sailor's WifeA Poem by Kiba ShadowpawOk, so i think I'm pleased with this final piece. It took me a while, but after some editing and friendly criticism from some friends and family, i think this is the final copy. Enjoy~
She sets sail riding the ocean waves,
Her heart filled with hatred and rage. Why did you take him she yells and screams, You ruined our plans our hopes and dreams. She curses to the rain filled sky, Minutes and hours soon pass by. Her ship sailing further out to sea, Gazing at her memories in pure misery. We were to have this child and be wed, Now you leave me with an empty bed. A fatherless child to raise on my own, A queen without a king or a home. She glances down into the water's depth, Breathing deeply as it's her last breath. She casts herself into the sea's tow, Sinking deeper into the darkness below. What am I doing, this can’t be right, To give myself up and take my baby's life. She fights the current trying to surface, Her body weakens as she becomes helpless. She goes limp as it becomes too late, Maybe this was our destiny, our fate. Swallowed up by the raging ocean, Her lover greets them into his arms again. © 2015 Kiba Shadowpaw |
