A Sunken Ship

Relationships and boats paired in metaphor

By Dylan SPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Apologies on the locale. We weren't meant to be here.

Elsewhere was our heart's destination.

First setting sail in our ship under an Angelic, late night November Moon.

A kiss raised the anchors. On our way. Drifting off over an alluring ocean; love filled.

This ship; fastest and strongest in my fleet.

Terrible of a Captain had I become.

Losing sight of a bright star; a guide by night.

Battling bombarding tides; tidal waves of emotions.

Storms splintered, cracked our perfect ship.

Powerless against the forces.

Severed in half. Sunken under waters, as if it was called

Titanic.

About the Creator

Dylan S

I am an inspiring writer. I have always enjoyed writing with pen and paper. Jotting down my thoughts and my own constructs of reality and make-believe, and bringing them into the world. I enjoy writing and would love to get paid doing it.
