To The Dust

A memory floating on a breath of air.
Shining like glitter with a sweet dream of ages past.
Dissipating through the cracks in the floor.
How fragile it all seems...

That night, she’d forgotten to wave.
And now he was lost to the depths of the sea.
Wondering without a compass to guide the way.
She knew that mistake would come back to haunt her
How tragic it all seems...

It was all too fancy for the wiles of a young heart.
And too much for the soul of a pirate to take.
She must do all to remember now.
As if drifting on the ocean with him.
How full of magic, this dream...

He fought for her to stay,
That part is true .
In the aftermath, all things crashed.
And her dusty eyes never left that point on the horizon,
Where he disappeared.
How drastic it all seemed...

Their love was swallowed by the sea.
Down to the thrashes of its black little heart.
But though it’s dark, it won’t wax and wane,
With the moon that ripples across the eastern port.
It just couldn’t keep their love at bay.
How perfect it all seems...

Reminded me of Jason and the Argonauts, and his epic two year journey for the Golden Fleece !
Marvellous pen !

Augh!! Shades of the Buccaneer and the vagabond heart. This is so like "Pirates of the Caribbean" with Depp and his followers. Just as deep as the heart of a swash buckler too Mariah.
You do your Momma proud.
Love,
Mom
