Analysis of My Safe Harbor
Its is hard spending my days so far from the peaceful shore that is you
if I am a ship tossed about upon life's seas, then your arms are my safe harbor
the light in your eyes my lighthouse guiding me round sandbars and boulders
your laughter deep and rolling like the waves crashing in
the taste of your lips salty
the feel of your breath against my neck the gentle breeze filling my sails

About this poem
I wrote this poem when I was missing my fiancé because he had moved across the country to start a new job, and I was completing my student teaching.
