Poems
Nov 2014
Sunbathing
I am a bather upon the hot sands of confusion
Never feeling the heat for the waves-
Calm finality constantly washing over
I lie there, while others hide under shade
Far from naked sun-
Yet vulnerable to her heat still
Their blood boils slowly, unnoticed until too late
They run into the water so far
So cold, so icy to their skin
My voice is unheard beneath their quarrels for cover
My words of warning unheeded
By the pride of self title
My blood simmers yet never to a boil
My skin is cooled yet never to a burn
I lie there knowing pain
Peace too.
