I Build Her a Lighthouse

Edthepoet

And the days
The waves crash over
And her minds
Capsized once more
When she's stranded
In wild waters

I build her
A lighthouse
On the shore

And the times
The seas grow angry
And her hearts
Too tried to talk
When she's sinking
In wild waters

I build her
A lighthouse
On the shore

And the nights
The stars don't shine bright
And her eyes
Lie to her thoughts
When she's circling
In deep waters

I build her
a lighthouse
On the shore

        Hmmm. The need for a lighthouse denotes dangerous waters.
        Rocky outcrops where hearts have floundered.
        Brings out the lifeboatman in your soul..... rescuing a lost soul.
        One hopes there are happy days too.

        • Edthepoet

          Hey dusk, Happy days aplenty my friend, I just struggle to write about them as effectively as the ones that force me to write.. If you catch my drift.

            Yes i do. Nothing is tugging st me at the moment hence i dont write a lot.

            • Edthepoet

              I know the feeling well, I don't seem to be writing as frequently as I used to... I find it best not to force it though, it will appear when it's ready..
