Dispirit,
Alone,
No port,
Only storm,
A wake…
In high open seas.

Compress
Is gone.
Hull
Is all torn.
Rudderless...
And... all worn.
A providence...
There's no providence
… towards home.

Scuttling;
What is left...
To this destiny?

I hear … The door.
A voice … In the hall.
Shush,...A call
He’s here.

He comes … To call
He is here… For her.
But I know,
I know,...
That’s not all…

He’s here.

A smile… I smile.
Its cold...
A sound.
Laugher,... I laugh,

A chill...

A tingle.

She goes...
Up the stairs.
My eyes...
Go down
I look ...
I look, around.

I’m alone.
No one...
No one...
Is here...

He’s,...
Here again.
He comes… to call.

I sit in the park
Alone
In the dark.
I swing…
On a raggedy old swing.

It sings to me
A strange melody
Of what…
The new day will bring.

The birds begin to sing
Now
Now… it’s time to go home.
It time
To be
What they want to see.

It’s time
Now…
To be all alone.

A moonless night;

The nocturnal sky.
Distant lights flicker;

So clear…; So far…;
So silent.
The scent of your sweet breath.

The rhythm of the sea;

Memories…; Moments…;
Your touch.
Simmers of tranquility;  

Darkness
Gently caresses the expanse;

Beyond time.
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
Silence
Grows
Dwindling light.

The ending
… of the day.
Now,..
Embraces the night.

A last endless moment.
Colors,…
Reaching the abyss.

Life’s ultimate… exhale.

And,..
Love’s,…
Final

Kiss.

Standing…
Where once
was you.

I gaze out…
Watching…
Waves
… gently roll.

I dream.

Sounds
… of the sea.

Feeling of sand.

I close my eyes
And…,
Again
Here you stand.

A touch
… on my hand
Takes me;

In a moment
Just a moment
I am free.

Free, to go
… to long ago
When…
It was you…
Who was wanting me.

Laughing lovers;
Dawning sun;
Gentle spray
… from the sea.

Suddenly,
Words...
“ I love you”

A moment of joy
Turns…
To tragedy.

I am a little evergreen tree,
I lay, unearthed.
My roots are bare.
My leaves are so dry and brown.

I am a grain of sand,
Just one.
Here I sit,
On a long lonely beach.

I am an eagle's tail feather,
I’m falling.
In silence,
Out of a clear blue sky.

I am the cry of a small child,
And, I am crying out.
Deep in the darkness,
The stillness of an empty home.

I am the tense metal snap
of an old Cheese-in-trap,
I am dancing in darkness
And I dangle a dying mouse.

"I am where?",
no one seems to care.
Is there no sight,
No sound?
