A war amongst nations has made its call;
A young sailor must go off to war.
Trumpets signal the assembly of men,
While two lovers stand still in loves embrace.
Fears of death and separation cloud the mind,
Only true loves kiss can bring them hope.
A final goodbye sends him off,
She is now alone amongst the sand.
As the ship sails away;
A diamond necklace can be found in her hand.
A diamond necklace can be found in her hand.
With this symbol of his love,
Distance and time cannot touch.
As the days go by,
The heart begins to break.
War is never fun,
And is always hard to take.
As the days go by,
The heart begins to break.
Distance and time is taking its toll;
The young maiden has almost given up hope.
But above a goddess weeps,
Tearful over this tragedy.
Promises of protection for her love,
Come to her in sweet melodies.
Up above the goddess speaks
"Don't be frightened you will see,
Love prevails over seas."
Ten years have passed since then,
And now she sees that it is true.
Across the emerald ocean,
Is where the ship is found,
Love knows no leaps or bounds.
I like the use of rhyme and repetition in this poem! Thanks so much for sharing Ricky! It's a really interesting picture with it as well.
