The Yacht....(Letting Go...)

By A Velvet Tongue

How will I know if your finished
How will we come to an end
How will I know if being lovers
has faded to being just friends

I wonder if I'll know when free you
I wonder where you'll find to go
I wonder if behind me , tommorrow
will offer a consolidative blow

Where I once felt your consuming passions
now lying dormant,... is fame
where there once were shared exaltations
now there lies, a face with no name

I've felt of your towering rapture
I've tasted of bittersweet bliss
Ive known how to long for submission
but still just cant bring us to this

My darling, it's time That I send you
away on a magnificent yacht
to travel the tides of tommorrow
that somehow we failed to have bought

Treasures in multitude splendor
will carress your stubbled left cheek
quenching the glassy peaked billows
aid you to find what you seek

Now I will lay down this body
bathed in a beautious beam
How could I ever feel hatred
for love wasn't quite what it seemed..

think of me, love, full of splendor
speak of me with words so mild
softly remember our journies
into this world ...so defiled..

Cast out a note in a bottle
A few thoughts... from your wayward mind
winged... upon waves of forever
your name, you don't have to sign...

    You just spill it dont you? Down from your mind full of wonders. This is to envy, but more to admire. I admire your skill in making this Vel. You seem to grow better and better. Tiger
