Stormy Night - Haunting Songs

Siren

Aye, her light shines guiding sailors home

shadowy figures, weary pirates roam

out of the darkness, a schooner sails

creaky floorboards,  eerie wails

on a moonless night she's our sun

her glowing kiss, forgives what we've done

riding waves to the siren's haunting song

written for dVerse 

writing Quadrille #43

a poem consisting of 44 words

incorporating the word creak

Thank you for your kind visit!

 

Stormy Sea

La Jument, off the coast of Brittany, photograph by Jean Guichard

I am a light keeper,  beacon of hope

facing adversity when it comes to call

sending messages, helping sailors cope

solitary life, lost souls visit my stone walls

I remember sunny days sailing together

until, storm clouds took you away from me

lost amidst sorrow, cursing turbulent weather

haunting songs drifting grey foaming seas

I am a light keeper, my heart is true

seeking redemption, floating ghosts roam

may your ship always sail under skies of blue

navigating wild waves leading safely home

Lighthouse Dandelions by Jamie Wyeth

In a field of dandelions

my  mind wanders in thoughts

I'm lost

magnificent light flickers in the night

my heart flutters,  wings of a moth

I pause

golden house star of guidance

my soul seeks refuge

I sigh

love in abundance growing fonder

a vision before my eyes

I cry

breathtaking view, wondrous life

the path leads me to you

I'm found
