My Life No Longer Mine

  




My life, my life no longer mine.

A ship that’s lost on stormy seas,

Now howling, raked by winds of time.

 

No longer sails in sunlight bold,

The dark of night rules long my sky.

Each morning yields the winter’s cold.

 

My rudder’s splintered, spit and broken

My hopes awash and left forlorn

Now rocky shoals yield fate unspoken.

 

My life is tossed on angry waves

Soaked by whims of careless tides

Ever closer to the grave.

 

No longer sweet the moon lit nights

No longer smooth the voyage ahead

My life now tastes of salty brine.

My life, my life no longer mine.
