[Old and Unreadable] Max's Thought-Provoking Poetry

Tenderly Broken

 The sea is still, calm and serene

Gliding seabird's cries wafting through the air

The soft orange sunset warms your content heart

Far to the north, where the fading sun sits

A ripple tip-toes across the light-blue stage

It meets you tenderly at first

Swimming teasingly around ship with a calming smile

He climbs on board, blissfully dry and touches you

Your heart flutters and your mast shakes in the calm

He teases again at this, laughing infectiously

You blush, grateful for the light feathery breeze

As he dives into the blue you wave a surprised goodbye

He promises he will see you again

You sit as the night consumes your reclusive bay

You stare at the small, sharp stars and planets

Reading, writing, your insecurities are all irrelevant now

You're smitten by the kindly boy from the bay

There will be no sleep for you tonight, little ship

As morning comes you exercise repetitious routine 

But can't shake the young man from your head

You don't dare to hope you have something with him, however

Not yet

You meet the boy again, surrounded by his friends

Your boat rocks with the uncertainty of institutionalized shyness

But he turns at you, smiles and beckons you in

So it goes for many days, so many you lost count

The most tender and best of your life

Slowly but surely, you lose yourself more and more

Within the boy's sandy hair and soothing smile

You dare to believe one night, as you rock steadily

Staring up at the constellations, you dare boldly

There was no shame in that, you tell yourself 

For when you confess your feelings to the boy of the sea

He smiles even greater and adorably blushes

Your heart flutters again, as if angels danced inside it

Perhaps your fantasy could become a reality

But life comes in meteorology, as you come to understand

Too long in the feathers beckons a storm's wrath

You are closer than the closest for oh so long

But soon his looks darken

His smile turns superficial

He is never in the bay

And foolish you, you grow paranoid

Your heart is strung from a rope in the thunderclouds

As your mind races to assumptions

Assumptions that would be inevitably correct

The boy had many other ships in his greedy bay

You lie breathless, the stars swirling around you

Sheer shock crumbles your glossy mast

And the heartbreak burns like only the coldest frost can

You confront him and he tries to explain

And you run and sail far away

You keep going past the eye of the storm

And soon you lay a shattered wreck in swirling ocean

You thought he was perfect, a golden form of glee

Yet perfection is a woeful impossibility

Acceptance of that was the only way, little ship

In your stupid ignorance you name him despicable

"The despicable boy who broke my tender heart..."

Hmm. Maybe I went a bit overboard with this one. And I tried to write from a girl's perspective lol I messed up so bad. Oh well. Tell me what you thought about this big dodgy creature I have concocted.
