You are my lighthouse
Directing me to shore
When I drift carelessly
In my own waves
Signalling me to safety
My lantern, my love
Wrapping me in safe harbors
To sift through sands
For ancient shells
Emptied of lost moments
Until I find the one
Perfectly pierced
Waiting for a chain
And a reason to be worn
You are my lighthouse
Illuminating my destiny
Through fog and faint heart
Shining on me
Like I am important
My lantern, my love
And there is not a gale
Or storm that could take me
When I have your light
Your beacons of hope
Guiding me back
To shores of solace
Dreams and castles
Still yet to be built

Lighthouses – a metaphor I love to use myself..
The lighthouse metaphor is a good one! We all need one or more lighthouses in our life to show us the way.
Lovely poem…repetition is like a beacon!
Reminds me of a song, “My Lighthouse” by Rend Collective –
Thank you and thanks for introducing me to Rend Collective. Great lyrics! 🙂
I love lighthouses so your poem speaks to me. Beautiful and romantic!
A perfect metaphor for trusting love and therefore a beautiful and haunting poem. Beautifully said.
lighthouse metaphor is lovely; such a tender write..
A great metaphor on love… and I love how at the end you hint that there is much more to come!
Hi there!!!! I painted a portrait for a man and his young daughter – they lost their wife/mum earlier this year to cancer. This lighthouse poem was the inspiration!! I’d love to share a photo of the final artwork with you. I’m an Australian portrait artist… If you’d like to see it – check out my Instagram @pencilhead.art
