[hometext] => To Michael Silva, Who commited suicide in his boat last year.
[bodytext] => The lone sailor. Sailed all day & night, Without a crumb to bite, Till his home, was out of sight. Alone with the stars and sea, Like a gaunt, solitary tree, Alone, wild and free. The monarch of his own boat, In search of a distinct port, Sailing through the silent waters— A puckered black coat. Coiled within in his finite sphere, Circled by empty bottles of beer; Now replenished, by somber tears. Paddled till his arms were sore, Drenched the cloths he wore, As he neared, neared the earth’s core. -Thivanka [comments] => 3 [counter] => 294 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Thivanka [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
