The ferryboat to the remote island <br />Drifts away in the disappearing sun of dusk, <br />Sweetly lovers kiss, they’ve missed <br />Their ride home and will spend <br />The night entwined on the beach <br />Remembering every detail of their affair. <br /> <br />Stranded with opportunity to create <br />A tighter emotional bond and lovelier fate! <br />This, also, has been my strategy <br />With every word I write to you <br />In my lonely night of tears. <br /> <br />You have seen my soul like a trapped ghost <br />Trying hopelessly to communicate <br />To an uncomprehending spouse <br />Left behind in an empty house of memories, <br />But you’re beginning to feel and trust <br />My gentle and inviting essence.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gentle-and-inviting-essence/
