Poems
Jan 2014
Dichotomy
Sunset
On the beach
****** tension
Obvious and overwhelming
Lays a pleasant enshrouding cloud around us
The world fades away
Just the dying colors of a vivid sun
And the incessant onslaught
Of a calm ocean
Memories of a day past
Splashing on our mental shores
In tune with the earth
As always
I softly stroke the fresh ink
Printed on her skin
Her skin tightens
Redness appears
A great surge of passion
Welling up in the bottom of my heart
Filling my stomach
But I must control myself
I've made this mistake before
The same obstacles
To trip over
They've never left
But she hints like they're leaving
I escaped without crossing the line
I made no mistakes
I don't know if I should return
But the heart wants what the hearts wants
And I'm left longing
