Bella's Pier

Seagulls roost on a dock
With calming tweets of song
But I wobble along
As night quivers 

Fleeting birds reel below
While tide swishes away
Lonely like wings of day
Mocked by despair

This pier screams for Bella
Her hair feathered in gold
Waved ruffles to behold
I drown---she’s gone.
