Starboard Bow

Aboard the starboard bow

Underneath the dark navy sky

Throughout the eerie halls 

In the fuel room my dear does lie.


Toward her I cannot go

Since she lay with such despicable fro

Around us at once our memories surround, a whirlwind, a ghastly cloud

Beside me my lost love will lay, forever, on that ground. 


Above me the stars scream, like an animal after thy prowl

For now my love lays

My sacred beauty

Now here to forever stay.


The author's comments:

My name is Amaris Ruiz, and this poem is inspired by a school project, a preposition poem. I recently have been reading more Edgar Allen Poe poems, so I decided to write a poem with a touch of sadness and despair, just as he does.
