-
She had stars in her eyes,
Pale moonlight in her skin,
Red coral in her lips,
Curled dark waves brushed her chin,
A sailor in her heart,
And salt tears on her cheeks.
She hadn't slept for days;
She'd not eaten for weeks.
Her thoughts heavy with hope,
Her gown weighed down with wet
The cold waters rising
Would help to numb, to forget.
She put up no struggle,
Told herself not to swim,
And as the sea claimed her,
Her last thought was of him.

- Description: This started from a single phrase that I couldn't shake from my mind. Normally I don't adhere to structure so much, but it seemed right in this particular piece.

- As i mentioned below you're an awesome poet muse. And i'm not just saying that because you're cool either. But that does make your poem a little better. Don't sweat it you've got style and ability!
