What I would give
Were we to-gether
My Anjin-San
To walk again
Your deck, and by
The Mast to stand
To feel your helm
Beneath my hand
The Rudder buck
At it's command.
To hear the singing
Of the shrouds
The snapping of
Your billowed sails
The rushing water
Flowing by, scuppers
Gurgling the Cockpit dry
To feel the
Shudder of your Hull
As through the waves
Your sharp stem ploughs
The crashing bang as
The Boom swings o'er
The thrumming hum
Of Lines pulled taught
The laugh of glee
That escapes my throat
Now lost to me
You are my Love
Another has you now
Your Deck he walks
Your Helm he holds
But does he know
Your Soul.

Camac,
You made me feel like I was standing on the deck experiencing it all. Thank-you. thumbs_up.gif

Dead Dave;
I would think that whoever is holding the helm Anjina-San has much the same feeling that inspired you. It is better to have loved then to have not.
Thanks
JC

This one is splendid, David. This one has arrived. There have been a few things I've loved that much and lost -- but never yet sung of them. My admiration to you.

I have to agree with all of the above my friend...
Reading this poem is like living it at the same time.It is a great privilege to be able to write and feel at the same time, a unique talent indeed.
