rules and poem in black font in author notes

   

after you left

I sailed turbulent waters

beneath a gypsy moon

trailing silver stardust

I followed the night

embraced by the summer breeze

on my cradling boat

lulled by waves

sailing over a lonesome sea

I drown in your absence

musing what could have been

after you left me �??�?�¢??
I sailed turbulent water
beneath a gypsy moon
trailing silver stardust

I followed the twilight,
embraced by the summer breeze
and on a�???�??�?�  cradling bough

sailing over the bitter sea
I drown in your absence
musing what could have been
