Calm and placid
he stood
Eyeing the storm and island
He was to face
The tempest winds
Scared the sea
His ship too was
About to flee
But violent as it was
He had to sail
For love
He must not fail
Shrouded by coldness
Surrounded by noise
He urged the ship
As he hears the maiden’s voice
A battle ensues
A tiny dot in the ocean
Confronting a behemoth
That compared to a thousand
The world was grey
And then all was still
At last he had arrived
His heart was thrilled
A pang of misery then takes control
This woman he pursued determinedly
Of all the sacrifices done
Was already with another man.
So, he sailed back
Heart swallowed by pain
Off alone in the vast ocean
Searching for another one.
