The Affair

Written on Friday, May19, 2006

Green nameless sea,
Offering,
A lifeless self-worth being,
Stumbling,
Falling out of loneliness.

Flowing,
Auburn,
The wind blowing thru her hair,
Oh life, Oh love,
Leave me not.

Sun-bathed kisses,
Pressing,
Mist on her skin,
Releasing herself to the rising wave.

Memories,
A trip to the beach,
Oh smiles, oh laughter,
Given, taken away.
No longer mine to keep.

Blown,
Catching the scent,
Ocean breeze,
Seaweed and coral,
Oh pain, oh strife,
Her hands let go of what is within.

Silent moon rising,
Waves glistening by the light,
Darkness creeping in,
Cold shivering emptiness crying out,
She is, she was.

Never again.
