Discovery

Discovery

 

I don't want to grope like I did that day

 It's truly turbulent when love goes a stray.

So I sailed on a ship through stormy seas

My mates betokened me the Maltese

 

I was one of the dragon's buccaneers.

We crossed oceans filled with her victim's tears

 

For many a year had I the voyage to endure

Curious how the journey lost it's allure

 

Me thinks that maybe my ports in view

As I near the horizon after discovering you

 

An eagle soaring high over a desert of sorrows

Scarcely rendering a concern to it's tomorrows

 

Wouldn't be as discerning as the ships bell

To the fact that it seams i was able to foretell

 

Those feeling of anguish you felt in the past

Our lives both appear to have been sailing at half-mast.

 

For if you identify the apathy encasing your heart in ice

I'll demonstrate my willingness to sacrifice

 

I'll show you the warmth of my love will melt the cold of your life

And dry the tears of your disbelief

 

You'll acquire long-lasting sanctuary from all worldly grief

I sense the fire burning deep within your eyes

An ever illuminating ember that never dies

 

It burned the beauty of your bounty

Into the memory of my mind

Thinking of your love has me long-winded, unclad and condigned

 

I'm the first mate and only time will show

'Tis your sorrow that I shall conquer and overthrow
