Lost in a Sea of Torment
Lost in a sea of torment,
My heart dwells upon the lack of love that I have once had.
I have longed for the touch of a woman's lips,
The sweet tender kiss and her smiling eyes,
whispering to me with her eyelashes.
I look out at sea to feel the shore's look
straight back at me.
Only the feeling of hope is there,
Not knowing where the water's take me
but for I am on a journey to land ashore.
The oceans are treacherous.
The sky is grey.
The raging sea has my ship.
But I will swim to shore
to feel that love once more.
