"Distant Shore"
by Amber "V" Moonstone

3/29/11

The misty air surrounds her
like a warm blanket on a cold night.
Temptation fills her with desirous thoughts
as her eyes turn toward his distant shore.

How can one survive this delerium,
when the fog speaks of many voyages,
so many times lover's have been lost
buried beneath the turbulent waves.

Careless acts of daring,
crossing the frigid waters,
hoping to arrive at a safe harbor,
only to be swept away by remorse.

Fearless endeavors complicate
sensibility and safety,
dashing all hopes for the earnest
that awaits the arrival that never transpires.

Torn between love and honor,
the sailor chooses the later,
and disappoints the stranded lass,
leaving her yearning for his love.

Distant shores become dim,
filled with the misty air of evening,
as shimmering teardrops fill the merky waters,
while standing beneath a crescent moon.
