"Love beckons from the shore"


Poem Artwork

Where Old Sailors Go to Die

I made a fool of myself for love
But better for that than for hate
Better than sinking to rise above
The roaring tide early than late

Now late I want to do it again
From what I can remember
Having forgotten about the pain
Here in this mid-December
If only to keep warm
In safe harbor from the storm
Until the spring returns when I
Sail to return no more

There where old sailors go to die
Love beckons from the shore

Beautiful write. You are no fool for love. You would be one if you turned away from it.
God Bless and Merry Christmas,
Lew

A beautiful poem, Steven. You do these introspection, from the heart poems so well -- always a pleasure to read. Well done.
Love,

Wondeful write Steve, love and sailors seem to walk hand in hand don't they. I recall a song I think by the Irish Rovers called Fiddlers Green which was supposedly a special place for old fishermen when they died.
