The surging tides that ebb and flow <br />I watch them come I watch them go. <br /> <br />The rolling waters of the sea, <br /> have freedom now denied to me. <br />But she still calls me constantly. <br /> <br />My only mistress was the sea <br />‘til I asked you to marry me. <br />The only way you would agree <br />I must say farewell to the sea. <br /> <br />I turned my back upon the sea <br />settled ashore reluctantly. <br />My love for you has anchored me. <br />You feared it understandably <br /> but I still miss her terribly. <br /> <br />I watch the boats go out to sea <br />where in my heart I long to be. <br />I’ve done all that you asked of me <br />.Its only when we disagree <br />That I come here unhappily <br />to seek the solace of the sea. <br /> <br />10-Apr-08 <br /> http: //blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/solace-for-m-lady-helen-unknown/
