Salty Secret
Posted on April 15, 2019 4 Comments
Where were the tears that day? Our loss must have voided my heart. Each time I taunted with emotion, my soul would squeeze even tighter. Then, past a wet wind’s gale. I saw your empty face. It was the key that finally broke me. So…I ran to the salty sea. Broke free from this ransom. […]
Safe Place

My throne upon wet stones. Waves crashing making me get lost. Howls of violence outside stop me dead in almost silence. No one would follow me to where I could go. Time, I banished. Seconds…minutes…hours, the same to me. Still, it fought back with the tides. Afraid the ocean will swallow. Strangle and take. I […]

I had you for a while, then…I lost you to the sea. Alone in these narrows, until the day you return to me.
For That Moment

I sat one day. Alone, on a palette chair. Sit in spatters and their quiet stories. Did watch as pebbles danced in entertain. For granted, I was easily lead. So naive that tomorrow won’t go away. It was a peace that drunk me. There, emotion could never touch. Strange was any voice of hurt. All […]

You broke my heart once more. But, it’s OK. At least it felt something.
