Love is a Graveyard by John Tustin

love is a graveyard
at the bottom of the ocean
reserved for ships
that search the ocean
for the good things
not found at any known port -
just old Captain's-tales
no different than stories
of mermaids, buried treasure on an uncharted island
just begging to be dug up
and especially the tale of
The One That Got Away





John Tustin's poetry has appeared in many disparate literary journals since 2009. fritzware.com/johntustinpoetry contains links to his published poetry online.
