Somewhere A night owl hoots

The salty sea breeze caresses my cheeks

I await my beloved's arrival.

The clock is ticking by,

Calmer seas frighten me more than tempest,

Unknown foes and unsuspected perils.

I wonder if he'll come

Years have gone by, we haven't met,

My numb heart seeks revival

Once, I, a young lady'

And he, Sailing fresh from the Sea

Our love was for eternity.

Footsteps I heard, shouting outdoors,

Rushing through, Opening doors, there I saw,

Drunk Alcoholics asking for more (alcohol)...

Laughing bitterly at my hopes,

Went back to windows, hoping some more,

Wishing there'd be him outdoors,

Many say I am delusional,

Try dissuading me, scoffing over (the slim chance of) his arrival,

(But) Keeping Hopes (are my) only scope, for survival...

Phew!! my first attempt at writing an entire poem, from seperate Haikus!!

*squeals & jumps*

I've Used 7 paragraphs each one being, haiku,

The last para needed to be murdered (:P ) in order for the poem to be comprehensible...

The words in the brackets are just there for structure, they are not really vital.

Plz let me know what u think, I'm really eager for feedback, since this a foreign territory, and I really wanna know, whether it sailed through or fell flat on its face...

Vote, COMMENT, SHARE..
