Parting Ships
Marc David Decker © 1989

Parting ships, parting lips,
Parting sips of salty bliss,
Seasoned from the parting tears
Of farewell…
She would never tell.
Parting ships of love
Sail off to hell.
Cry goodbye.
Graceful fingertips that trembled
With one final kiss of farewell.
Die goodbye.
Parting ships of love
Do not fare well.
