Beyond the Breakers
My noose too tight
to be with you tonight-
My trail of ebony too light,
for my ivory…
-has lost her sight.
In the depth of beyond lies the naked
soul of the unknown.
Forbidden from reason...lost in
recognition and living a life of disregard.
Long lost love has been broken and
like a black dove, destiny has spoken.
Revealing my desires crackles wood in
burning fires-
Freedom from loss is not what this life
requires.
Internal remorse-
Beyond…
So far beyond..
"And this too shall pass", is said
with all the lies you fed-
and still, you
ended up dead.
Far away in a distant memory,
I found the brokenness of a quill-
My verses stopped flowing and
my soul never knowing-
For in living there is dying and
in dying there is regret-
But oh, my love,
how do I ever forget…
Standing alone in a cave with
no one left to save-
while beyond the
breakers I lay here…
and your touch I crave.
