On the Ship

June 2, 2010 at 01:16 (Uncategorized) (, , )

Well, this is my second post/day with this blog and I have to say how relieved I feel for finally having a blog. It’s so important to share thoughts and feelings. I’ve been sharing it with papers and pens for a long time and on Facebook for the last months… And now here!

My last post about the Moon felt the right one to get started with, for a lot of reasons, including the fact that I absolutely love the Moon. And now I’m gonna talk about another love of mine…

I wrote the words below when my time living on a cruise ship was over after 4 months on board, and I just felt the need to express my feelings for a way of life that I didn’t want to end, at least not so soon. Living and working on a cruise ship was an unexpected journey filled with happiness, friendships, adventures, loneliness, fatigue, emotions, obstacles,  … A lot of joys and difficulties but always worth it. They were a few months that definitely felt like a year and  I had no idea the experience would be as awesome as it ended up being. I guess you can get an idea by reading this:

(so far untitled…)

I stopped getting closer to the horizon
The minute I left you
Our lives fit so well together
I don’t know what happened

You sound so unclear now…
Undecided
And I feel so lost
Can I please have my compass back?

My eyes hurt reaching the horizon now
They no longer belong
I just can’t feel it anymore
Can’t breathe no more

I see it upside down
And my ink wants to follow it
What should I do
If now it’s out of my sight?

I still need the horizon and its continuity
I miss the pure salt essence in the air
And how desperate a simple ball became when it belonged to you
I miss the huge sky following and covering us
I miss the race the rain had to face to reach us

My selfish heart deserves to hear only its own beatings
My selfish eyes implore not to see any others
I just want to be only me and you again

Here are some of these moments
