"Vessels"
Oceans heave, billow with temptation
Winds blow, howl with desire
Though built with good intention
Mighty vessels stray off course
Violently tossed by sea and gale
Lose their way, seek another beacon
X and Y cruise into relationships or marriage
Plotted on a course of monogamy, care, trust
Love, to navigate churning waters
Hope, to ignore the raging tempest
Failing to realize, they'll be torn apart
Damaged by a storm in the sea of life
Not because of who we are, nor lack of effort
Because of what we are, how we are built
Vessels of lust
Winds blow, howl with desire
Though built with good intention
Mighty vessels stray off course
Violently tossed by sea and gale
Lose their way, seek another beacon
X and Y cruise into relationships or marriage
Plotted on a course of monogamy, care, trust
Love, to navigate churning waters
Hope, to ignore the raging tempest
Failing to realize, they'll be torn apart
Damaged by a storm in the sea of life
Not because of who we are, nor lack of effort
Because of what we are, how we are built
Vessels of lust
