All those ships that never sailed <br />The ones with their seacocks open <br />That were scuttled in their stalls... <br />Today I bring them back <br />Huge and transitory <br />And let them sail <br />Forever. <br /> <br />All those flowers that you never grew- <br /> that you wanted to grow <br />The ones that were plowed under <br /> ground in the mud- <br />Today I bring them back <br />And let you grow them <br />Forever. <br /> <br />All those wars and truces <br />Dancing down these years- <br />All in three flag swept days <br />Rejected meaning of God- <br /> <br />My body once covered with beauty <br />Is now a museum of betrayal. <br />This part remembered because of that one's touch <br />This part remembered for that one's kiss- <br />Today I bring it back <br />And let you live forever. <br /> <br />I breath a breathless I love you <br />And move you <br />Forever. <br /> <br />Remove the snake from Moses' arm... <br />And someday the Jewish queen will dance <br />Down the street with the dogs <br />And make every Jew <br />Her lover.<br /><br />Kaufman Bob<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-those-ships-that-never-sailed/
