    dont read any further if you dont like poetry

    another

    another stormy passage
    on the ocean of illusions,
    hoping for a better sail tomorrow.
    but another squall approaches,
    the clouds foretell confusion,
    and i´m too damn tired to think about my sorrow.

    with the smell of bitter coffee
    i will fight another hour,
    fight with bloody hands and bleary eyes,
    but you´ll never drown this sailor,
    no, you havent got the power,
    so watch as over waves my vessel flies.

    to think i once believed your waters
    calm, deep and clear,
    i thought your arms could shield me from the wind.
    i thought i´d found a paradise,
    a place i neednt fear,
    a place where pain would end and dreams begin.

    you´re just another dirty harbor
    with a foul and rocky bottom,
    too shallow for the draft with which i sail,
    and the pattern of your currents
    i know i´ll never fathom,
    nor your shifting winds that never will prevail.

    another silver sunrise
    bleeding warmth on the horizon,
    the wind has calmed and waves are not so wild.
    dare i set my course for that far lone lovely somewhere,
    a place where pain and hate have not defiled?

    dare i set my course
    for that far lone lovely somewhere,
    a paradise that i have yet to see?
    yes, i´m sailing for tomorrow,
    a ship of fools without a care,
    sailing high and fast and strong and free.
