Mariner of Hearts

in love with something that wasn’t
dreaming of something that isn’t
falling over and over again
down the same staircase
in doldrums of unpleasant rehearsal
with the repetition of words
ringing in the ears like church bells
recalling crimes of omission
cradled in wretched atrophy
a soul sprung lose from the jar
unable to find safe harbor
in hearts so tightly closed and barred
eyes turn from gray to green
reflecting the turmoil of the sea
scrubbing the sins from her shores
never ending thankless job
spitting back the bits and pieces
that cannot be digested by god
transgressions and misdemeanors
cataloged on her forearms
scarred by her self loathing pitiful excuses
ramming into distant shores
headfirst screaming diabolic wind
slams the mariner of hearts
until he sheds tears of hope
that all is not lost in this forlorn love
he has carried inside his coat
from the beginning tracing a name
on the horizon that would one day find him
and the voice of an angel whispers
secrets of life and death divulged in an instant
of recognition and divinity
heaped upon his head in gentle strokes
calling out her name to him
the one he has waited for

this was friggin awesome! I loved the language you used in this poem so poetic and well-written.
transgressions and misdemeanors
cataloged on her forearms
I loved those two lines very brilliantly said.
