The sail in a storm

 

Like a beast when yanked in all directions

It crashes to the ground on the block

To suffer the spectacle of her gory demise

Her drowning in the gory gush of her own

No matter the vessel carried often the treasures

Now it scuttles alone and empty in a storm

With the intruding water that gurgles inside

It wipes the word of dreamy soul scribbled within

After many a thoughtful hour and sigh 

Even the ink that lent herself for the word

Now betrays the sail that promised a horizon

When scribbled upon in a vacation noon 

The flesh is torn like a paper as the beast

Is abandoned in storm with a capsized life

The vows of a horizon are wiped down the drain.
