Titanic Love

Titanic Love

Canto I

I found her by the ocean’s song,

A quiet gaze where dreams belong.

The world was vast, the sea so wide,

Yet all I saw was pain she’d hide.

 

She turned, and in her graceful flight,

A glow remained, like moon’s delight.

No diamond shone with such pure grace,

Time paused to watch her glowing face.

 

We met as strangers, hearts unsure,

But slowly found a love so pure.

Her laugh broke through like springtime rain,

Unchained from sorrow’s silent chain.

 

Together high, our spirits flew,

Beneath the moon’s embracing hue.

 

 

Canto II

The night grew wild, the sky turned black,

But she held on, no step went back.

Amidst the roar and battle’s cry,

Our bond endured, it did not die.

 

We ran through flame, through icy breath,

Still bound by love, defying death.

I swore I'd guard her from the chill,

And shield her with my burning will.

 

The lifeboats filled, yet none for me,

I let her go, so she’d be free.

We found a board to share the dark,

I held her close she held my spark.

 

She cried, "Please stay, don’t slip away,"

But fate had claimed the break of day.

 

 

Canto III

She lived, though something stayed behind,

A voice that echoed in her mind.

The world moved on, but not her soul-

It kept me whole it made her whole.

 

Each wrinkle wore my softest sigh,

Each dawn recalled our last goodbye.

She danced through life but paused mid-tune,

Still hearing me beneath the moon.

 

She whispered to the ocean deep,

“My love still walks within my sleep.”

Though time may fade what hands once knew,

The heart remembers what was true.

 

At ninety-eight, she closed her eyes,

And found me past the silver skies.
