Soul Yacht Soul Carrier


Our lives are a world of vestibules—a helm of energy. She
Stands afar, filled with vacillation; and I perish her deepest
Anger. Our souls, an ocean shore—a furnace aflame; and
Dolphins mourn our song. I listen—as a grandfather clock
Speaks to deaths: every tick nears a grave—a pendulum of
Mixed emotions. We logged into time so many years ago;
And we must log-on. But I hold you, knotted and untied:
What is this affliction? And why has she struck me, a volt
Of thunder? Have I not the right—the right to evaluate life?
Our rudder has left us seaward, and we dip, toss and turn. I
Came alone to free us, join me in our journey. We tiptoe a
Swamp, sullen and chasing freedom. How do I appease
You, a vessel of Passion? We enter a squall and
Rattle a sky—and ponder a fairytale. Alert us through a wave
Of chants, speak to our subconscious fire. For we perish windward,
Hiking thoughts—and Love is our heartbeats by flame.
