The Docks

///////////////////////////////

Down by the docks she waits.

Wind in her hair gnarling at her

with its claws.

But she does not shiver

For she has love in her heart. 

Down by the docks she waits.

The wind has tattered her clothes.

And blown sand into the lines of her skin

making them visible.

The sun has baked them too.

But she does not ail or tire of standing for she 

has love in her heart. 

Down by the docks she waits 

Time has grayed her hair

Her soft skin no longer glows.

She stands naked for the wind and rain have 

washed away her clothes.

But she does not blush at the sight of 

passerbys for she has love in her heart.

Down by the docks she waits.

Much stiller than the sea foam washed

upon the sand.

Still paler than the sea foam too.

But she does not weep or sigh as 

the current, greedy, takes her last breath away

for she has love in her heart

as the current sweeps her away.

Down by the docks she waits.

Until her lover returns

and they sail away under 

sunset hues brighter than any mortal man 

has seen:crimson, sapphire, orange.

But she does not see them as they fade

for all she can do is gaze into her lover's 

eyes for she has love in her heart.
