Titanic
With a touch of your hand,
you bid me so long;
Your lips lingered on mine
in a frantic attempt to stop fate,
To find one last hope of escaping
the unsinkable.
I looked in your eyes for one
last time,
Their blue irises reflected
the waves of the ocean,
Thief of your heart,
thief of my love.
I sat motionless,
Oblivious to the scent and
sound of death surrounding me,
Wishing i was still with you
on board,
In your arms, waiting...
With my eyes closed,
I saw it slowly disappear,
Taking you with it on its final
sail,
Down to the heart of the ocean.
I looked for you, Love, through
the still waters,
Desperately searching among
thousands of fear-striken faces,
Wanting to see the smile that,
years ago,
Captured my lonely heart.
I listened for your voice,
Love,
A voice whose songs captured
my mind,
But all i heard were unheard
cries of despair,
Calls for help echoed solely
by the silent voice of doom.
I stared at the water;
I saw your eyes staring back
at me.
Silently I willed you to defy
destiny,
To survive or to come back
for me.
For my heart had already joined
yours
In the Paradise under the sea.
