The Journey

(I wrote this poem somewhere in 2009 I think.)


There was this captain,

there was the dame,

Cappy was a charmer,

nor was she plain.


There was this feast,

loud, bright and drunk,

Cappy saw her there,

his ship was sunk.


He sought her out,

then she saw him too,

the room became empty,

it was just them two.


They decided together,

to embark on a trip,

one beautiful morning,

set sail on their ship.


The start was perfect,

smoothest ever sailing,

then troubles brewed,

the momentum was failing.


The sea grew choppy,

the waves gave alarm,

one day was stormy,

other day was calm.


It remained that way,

mixing cruel and kind,

the ship was a beast,

with it's own mind.


The skies grew darker,

sunny days faded,

old ship's glory,

became heavily jaded.


The trip was no fun,

but choices they lack,

in the middle of the sea,

should they turn back?


Then one day this happened

she searched all around

looking for Cappy

he wasn't to be found.


The good times flashed

she missed him so

"Lord, together with him,

anywhere I would go"


She didn't feel the storm

she wasn't even scared

"I want Cappy back",

was all that she cared.


Then she saw him

he was under the deck

it was the one place

she had forgotten to check.


His smile was the sun

brighter was her day

He saw her tears

kissed them away.


Looked at each other

with eyes so new,

"Why was I blind

to beauty so true"


The meaning of joy

became bright and clear

the journey doesn't matter

with each other near.


It carried them safely,

didn't sink, this ship,

And sailed into the horizon

on their never ending trip :)
