AMcQ

Ever catch yourself
caught between
the light and dark?

Has the stark contrast
blinded you, both
from lack of
and abundance of
luminescence.

Ever rounded a night corner
and prayed that the road
materialises beyond you;
that it follows the path
the very way you
imagine it?

And have you ever felt utterly ALIVE in that
frantic millisecond of uncertainty?

I have.

Son's Journey

Son's Journey

Once a lad and growing so
Days spun and spanning into years aglow-
Vitality, vim and vigor strong
Life's sweet pathways sometimes short sometimes long-
Boy-becomes-man journey
Letting go, each, that father-son tourney

Wave spreading in the sun
Smiles scatter warmly in youth's summer fun
Breaking over life’s beach
Sharing nourishment its lessons to teach
Dreams and hopes and coping
Even during seasons pained and molting

Like a dance, almost love
Son’s own rhythm within, below, above

Weak

Weak

Bring me to ruins
Drown me in your waves
The tide is too high
Its rough
Its taking me away
Drifting until I sink
Trapped in your haze
Your taste I drink
But its poison
Delicious with no cure
You will destroy me
For that I'm sure

Sand Castle

Jan 2015 Willow-Anne

Ocean Blue

Sand Castle

With our untold dreams
On the beach we've built a castle
To put in our sighs, our whims.
Then suddenly, you left the vessel,
To sail your way, offshore.
The walls, made stronger by my tears,
Can now resist the Ocean much more.
Though I have no fears
That, horse riding as a white knight,
As you vanished, you will reappear,
Sooner or later, maybe in the night,
Back to our sand castle,
my Dear.

She keeps appearing and disappearing in my life. No doubt she will appear again :)

What more?

What more do you want from me?
I've given away my time, my hope, my trust,
And you stole everything that remained.
Now nothing is left inside me,
but you came back for more.
I don't have a **** thing,
I'm just as empty as your head,
and as shattered as your soul.
Nothing remains, but the pain of what's lost.
