adrift

A single plank

On a dark wide sea

Soul adrift

Lost my bearings many moons ago

Where are all the signs

Which in pervious times seemed so plenty

I never really could lose my way

A desperate cry
Cold and hunger

Comrades with the salt and spray

Of wind tossed waves

Dark and damp

Two unsettling friends

Somewhere deep there lies

The bound, wet and

Shredded remains of a map

Traces of a forgotten dream

All this while

The hunger never dies

All false promises

Never deliver

Quite the joy I pictured tasting in my mind

When will I find

Shore again

Everything I’ve believed in

I now question thrice

My compass

Spins in

Every direction but true

Yet my heart still

Haunted by faded gleams-

The memories of you
