Ladies

Bow to starboard, Port to stern
I’m in this vessel, under siege

Overflowing, Taking water
Drowning with no life preservers.
I went all in, I went all out
Free of caution – and taking no damned prisoners

Blind faith was not enough.

I thought Lady Luck
Would make the sea level lower,
Help my breath last longer
And my heart beat slower

I thought Mother Nature
Would clear the waters from my path
Break the clouds and change to sun
Did I invoke her wrath?

I thought Lady Liberty
Would lift her lamp beside the golden door,
When I was yearning to breathe free
And take me safe inside

Instead,
With no one to save me;
A man overboard,
The water swept me away.

I just wrote this out, and I feel like it's almost two poems crunched into one.
Perhaps I need to seperate the two? Write one with the nautical theme and the other about the ladiesss?
Or do you think having them both is alright?
