From no where she found him
the boy the sea captain
like a ship lost at sea
Drifting aimlessly
at the mercy of the winds.
Cruel and cutting winds
leaving his soul tattered
tired and bruised.
He was healed by her words
he was healed by her thoughts
he was healed by her love.
The storm clouds lifted
replaced by a rainbow
as sunshine chased
away doubt and despair.
With a gentle kiss
she sent him away
and left the boy
the sea captain
To say walk out on us
but not be gone forever
to always give their love a chance
never say never.
There he now sat in his boat.
A harbor far away wondering
and wandering
how long was forever.
Time was now
written on his soul
written on his face.
He would hold her
whenever forever
Till time until eternity.

About romanticlovepoetry
I was born in Bucharest, Romania and immigrated to the United States when I was almost twelve years old. Here I obtained an B.A. from Princeton University and a Ph. D. in Comparative Literature from Brown University. At Princeton, I met and fell in love with my husband, Dan. We live in Michigan with our two children, Sophie and Alex. I taught philosophy and literature, focusing on the Romantic period, at Boston University and the University of Michigan. Since 2003, I've been working with a group of international artists on postromanticism, a contemporary art movement that I co-founded with the Mexican sculptor Leonardo Pereznieto. Postromantic artists strive to express beauty, sensuality and passion in their artwork. I do the same in my scholarly book "Romanticism and Postromanticism" (2007) and in a collection of love poems, "The Painful Poignancy of Desire" (2007). If you're interested in taking a look at this art, our website is postromanticism.com. I'm also a fiction writer. My first novel, "Velvet Totalitarianism" (2009), describes a family's survival in communist Romania due to the strength of their love. You can find out more about me and my writing on my author's profile on Notablewriters.com.
