Safe Harbour for MY Lady Irene

poem in rhyming quatrains

 

 

Safe Harbour.

 

Thou art my guide and comforter.

Without thee I would surely be

A homeless helpless wanderer

Adrift upon life’s stormy sea.

 

Until thou came into my life

I was alone and purposeless.

I could no longer cope with strife

Paralysed by loneliness.

 

But then thou came and rescued me.
Thou wert the answer which I sought.

Although perhaps unconsciously.

The miracle which thou hast wrought

 

Has changed my life so completely.

I did not know I needed thee.

But fate had plans for thee and me.

We both accepted gratefully.

 

We met, we fell in love again.

Together we found happiness

Your love has cancelled out the pain

The aching pain of loneliness

 

Without thee I would surely be

A homeless helpless wanderer

Adrift upon life’s stormy seas.

All that I am I owe to thee.

 

Thou hast become my guiding star

I love thee more than I can say.

I need not worship from afar.

I tell my love to you each day.

Sweet poem. I interpret it as you talking about how the world is a sea, and you're her harbour. Meaning that you are the one that will keep her safe from the dangers of the ocean. I personally loved the second to the last stanza, like you focused just a slight more on that part. Yeah, you're right, no two people would interpret a poem the same way. I guess I just forgot that while I was getting in-depth while writing it. Any other advice you would like to offer to a novice writer? Ehh, I'm going off topic here. I guess I'll end it now. Wonderful poem!
