Flowing Free – A Quadrille

As inevitable as change
it would come
After a hard, frozen winter
Tears of sadness cascaded
in a melting waterfall
of cathartic release
All good things sullied by spite
and left to drown in the river of hope
Now, finally flowing fast and free

Shambles

Shambles

Tender skin caught on barbed wire
surrounding an angry heart
Words trample on delicate feelings
just trying to comprehend the chaos
Eyes fill with salty tears
reacting to a life in shambles
Pain almost too hard to bear
Witnessing the demise
of what once was

Trail of Tears

Trail of Tears

On this night of stars
Where the velvet sky is clear
and romance is in the scented air
I look up into his face
A place where I love to linger
but my gaze is not returned
The light is gone from his eyes
His look is vacant
and his mind clearly elsewhere
He is present in body,
though absent in spirit
His heart, already taken back from me
and likely given to another
I knew then he was no longer mine
My trail of tears was his parting gift
