Capt. Captive

in sailing through the ocean of moments....

the body of memories we call
life's pasts,

the ship's voyage found smooth
sailing and rough waters alike

away from familiar terms
did this vessel flow

into foreign seas,
unknown and afar

passing islands made
of stark desires

all the time in search
of one consisting of

sweet, sweet alleviation

this vessel will never
take on the liquid that
encompasses and alienates it

for it does not understand,
cannot comprehend

the mixture of moisture
with a mineral
which parches the soul

this oxymoronic journey
has forever been

the dream of a man
dressed in a straight jacket
