Port of Love

Author: Copyright 2004 Patricia Dempsey

My heart's ship seeks the port of love
Throughout the storm of tossing seas
Sailing in a quest for shelter
In search of love's sweet gentle breeze.

The ship is scarred, with tattered sails
But keeps its course with strong conviction
No barricade of time or tempest
Will keep it from its destination.

Although the torrents pound the decks
With terrifying risks to take
The heart is strong and braves the storm
A lonely soul knows what's at stake.

The journey persists despite the danger
With trust and hope within the sails
Belief in finding love's sweet haven
Rejecting the prospect to ever fail.

And Lo, within the distant sight
Perchance the harbor of journeys end
The long sought sweetness of love returned
A time for lonely heart to mend.
