Poem - The Sea

The Sea

When everything was boring to me

A place far away was calling to me, calling my name

Come here come here yoh boh, come here

With tired men, like me

We listen to the knocking on heaven’s door

Coming to the sea, like the sun

We are knocking on heavens door.

Some place exotic we spent a lot of money and drank so much

And met strangers, odd and crazy

Talking with them about meaningless things.

She had a small face and white skin, so white

With a mole on her nose

But I suddenly realized this is meaningless and empty

And no more exotic.

I am …

But I am wondering

Where is my happiness

It is on the other side of heaven’s door

But heaven… the way to heaven is distant and meaningless.
