“Ship Of Lies”
As I was walking all alone
I saw a ”ship” came sailing to my land
I heard the roaring of the sea
It was dark in my heat
No starlight in my eyes
Then I stood still for a while
Until I heard a whistle blow
Thoughts of hurt
Thoughts of rain
Anger within my brain
This is no bloody game… life sucks!!
To welcome a stranger to my world
No surgeon can ever dress my wounds
Made by verbal abuse
Lies without excuse
With that tears did fall
Down by the seaside alone
I saw a “ship” cast up by the roaring sea
I kneeled down on this place called my own
Known to me… my “sanctuary of hope”
I cried my heart out
Another day… another disappointment… another lie
Nothing
The “ship” now gone
Me still penniless and alone
Oh! Leave me alone
And give the dog a bone
An astonishing and uniquely penned write - another poetic masterpiece, my friend!

and hope all is well.......
the hope alive and there's a sunny day
and blue seas ahead.
But there are other ships in the sea.
I hope one is your dream boat.
Love
Peter
