Lighthouse Poem by Ragy Sandid

Lighthouse



You're my lighthouse
My ship's in the dark, lost to you
I search for your island
Hoping your light will guide me through

You're on rock land
And I'm lost at sea
If you shine on me you'd understand
How I need you completely

As I sail through many tides
I hope one them will be your trail
I've been touched by many brides
In all: they ride, in love: they fail

But your roving light robs my soul
To this sailing day I don't know why
It was but the doll of the fool
Who thought love rained from the sky

Now you hide somewhere in the rocks
But every now and then I see your light
I know I'm the guy who guises love as he stalks
But I'm also the sailor who dreams by night

So many times I stayed off shore
Hoping you'd see it like love
Made of honour as you were before
So there's no sense looking at the cove

I write these words as if my last
I know there's a smell of salted sea in the air
This is just to say your lighthouse is my past
I steer the present 180 so we have no future to fare
