For some peculiar reasons An image of a sailor sailing on a lonely ocean answers most of my questions than any scenario I can think of. This Post was a written as a 31 Days, 31 Poetry on OctPoWriMo 2013. Todays topic on writing was “Being Gentle” and my post is about how gentleness of nature inspires the journey of a Sailor travelling to meet his love.

Let me Sail Away…
As I sail through scintillating waves
watching the early summer sunrise
A gentle breeze crosses my face
While a ray of sun peeps out of darkness
I steer my ship to a land not far away
While I enjoy the silence of this gentle pace
I spot an island and harbours my ship
where serenity romances with nature
Cold winds now begin to flow towards west
And a yellow yolk rises behind the hills
A sunshine falls gently on my face only to
Bring me inspiration to place I know my own.
I miss the tenderness of the touch of my love
Those compassionate nights now spent in loneliness
Those merciful looks for not remembering our anniversary
Those sweet talks that bought rain to my heart
I sit below a tree on a shore while my mind drifts
To those lands where the love of my life resides
I know it will only be few days before I can see her
Embrace her to announce in silence the love for her
The morning ambience is now bright and shining
The Sun is high and the sea is calm to sail away
I don’t want to let my melancholy spoil this journey
Because O Sun, You just started my day in happiness.
A Ray of Hope

I love the image of the sun as a yolk on the horizon. Very evocative, putting me right there in the boat. Nice!

I’m floating in your boat of words, Cap’n Sailor 😉 Really love the way you use very strong words. Good one!

I’ll be honest.
I found this repetitive. Also, since you wrote it during a fixed time frame, I found it rushed. Sure it gives the illusion of a rhythm but perhaps its pace is what kills it for me.
Your vernacular however is immaculate. I love the way you use words. Only, I wish you’d have used them in a different setting, for a different image.
