Strapped

When the eyes were closed I felt sensation    as the wind carried me to new heights       above the deck and in my nest            now Strapped to the Mast... Lashed to yonder yard arms    lips tipped with thoughts of salt       cheeks singe with the heat of sunlight             adrift on a sea of fury                 I venture on Embraced in a mist from Aphrodite    past the throne of Neptune       into the calming waters             next to the isle of wonders                 I journey on I clench the fist of thunder    sail with the Flying Dutchman       drop into a massive cyclone             engulfed by swirling waters                 I continue on                         Strapped to this Mast Thrown, bounded by the abyss    fathoming the sea       I emerge, rise up from the depths             to the surface once more                 In search Will the albatross fly above    find a resting place       upon this shoulder             use it as a nesting sanctuary                 In need Alas the thoughts, drained except for one that has bound me to this yardarm                    Love...
