On the Rocks

On these very granite rocks we once sat and joyfully talked and somewhere amid the churning river and your hypnotizing words I fell in love. Fallen like the tumbling waters beside me, in my ears, mimicking the rhythm of my heart. Here sits the one man in the world who adores you even as you step on his throat to silence him…my love. No! Don’t let the sadness in, fortify the walls with more rocks…too many holes. You are stronger with the courage of hope and second chances in time. It is this faith alone that allows me to let you go; the butterfly is free.

Very poignant poem, Phil. You may still feel the pain, but you also freed your heart, released it so that it can heal again. I felt the sorrow in this powerful plea of a poem. Splendidly expressed, my friend. Love always.
