My friend Ryan said he really liked this poem – he wrote “Awesome” on the page when he sent it back to me. It’s just one of those dream-like poems… that seems to have a meaning that maybe even I don’t understand years later. I’m not even sure what is meant by it felt like a premonition in the poem, in the dream. But I’ll keep it there for now.

In The Boat

This time it felt
just like a premonition -
in the dream,
I felt like a ghost -
I was there with you
transparent to your sight;
you looked right through me
not seeing me.

My love for you
keeps these dreams alive.

There is something familiar
about the place.

There by the water
we stood
yet you did not see me.
I watched you enter your sailboat.

I tried to call out to you;
I was so scared
of loosing you.

I watched you drift away,
fading out of sight.

The boat I enter
takes me back in time -
back to you.
