Bridges of Life

A Selection of Poems

By James Bolgiano

The Sea

Once you traveled across the sea;

It was your first love , it wasn’t me.

Mesmerized by far away lands,

An aphrodisiac in your hands.

Golden sunsets and stars at night,

Wonderful images, beautiful sights.

I know, in your heart, I was there,

But the waters were smooth and the weather fair.

Please understand my love for thee,

As I accept your first love, the sea.

In the night I reach for you;

Emptiness, my eyes open to.

Every port you call your home,

While my heart is yours alone.
