If I'm honest, I'm not entirely sure!
The appeasing sea gently soothes a maddening mind
On a quest to discover an everlasting tenderness
The boat creeks and sways, floating away all reclined
Oh but still stifling worries of thy slenderness*
Whispers, they echo so softly through the breeze
Recitals of enchantment with pure, acute adoration
In this moment of content, time begins to freeze
Aroma of perfume and hair adorned with a carnation
Oh how they offset the reddening sunset beautifully
One could sing thy name, only bringing amazing glory
Hear thee speak, thy words they escape oh so musically
Yet, oh yet, thee cannot see a happy ending story
Oh please believe that thee are a true marvel to behold
On this boat, pray of thee; believe your beauty is foretold

Unlike my other recent poems this was hard work – it took forever and didn’t just flow. You can probably tell!
