Impasse

Impasse The fragility of the moment causes me to stop where I am Another word, another step could break the dam We glossed over the issues Copious amounts of energy devoted to the cause Nothing was resolved I break for a pause No palette for your indignation I ignored the caustic remarks The recurring themeContinue reading “Impasse”

Maelstrom

Maelstrom Each day I wake not knowing what to expect Will today be comforting or suffocating There is no way to detect I can sail smooth seas of love and tranquility Be a recipient of your devoted attention and surprised by your spontaneity Or do we navigate a maelstrom on this imperious voyage to destructionContinue reading “Maelstrom”

Reborn

Reborn The fog gave way to the morning sun as it struggled to shine on the cliffs of might The wind thrashing the sea grasses Blowing away remnants of the night Walking slowly away from the memories of you Inhaling deep a freshness of purity What’s done is done Your voice no more living inContinue reading “Reborn”

Cliffs

Cliffs The sea was kissed by the morning mist Darkness tarried as the sun struggled to be set free Standing atop the cliffs a wild picture of windblown red hair likened to the Flame tree Cloak lifted by the wind she scanned the horizon searching for a sign Praying he comes today as was hisContinue reading “Cliffs”

Verge

You are balancing On the edge once more Teetering on the brink Where will it take you this time I wonder as my heart again Drops to the floor On the verge of explosion Paralyzed with fear Will I pull you back Or let you go Even if to my detriment Or do I braveContinue reading “Verge”
