Quiet The Storm Poem by Wilfred Mellers

Quiet The Storm
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Tuesday, August 16,2016

You are the sun that keeps me warm
Tendered shelter from the raging storm
I must confess you are my single weakness
Without you, my nights are truly sleepless

Dispossessed encumbered my slumber due
Restless nocturnal sleep in my condition true
Cradled my desire for session I aspire
I pitch and turn for you I yearn

Like a newborn unable to fend
Like the words, I cannot comprehend
Nourishing the child that depends on you
Steady the vessel that ferries me through

The moon the earth proposes
My love lays in a bed of roses
The stars shine brilliantly
Gave my all willingly

The evening composed a symphony
My greatest desire is your company
Eternity in sight so vividly
Captivated I fell instantly

Unpretentiously adorned by the labels I've worn
So naïve, my soul exhibited on my sleeve
I shall drink until I have had my fill
The jaunt of a lifetime and what a thrill
