Nette Onclaud Poet Quatrain

Island of Broken Dreams

Hyacinths  caress me  as I drag by
While rainfall thaws the elder leaves  which rip
Hours spent with my child...when dark tides imply
A troubled crest of farewell losing breaths’ grip.

How dreams on an isle engulf ardor’s pact
For toss of waves crashes like brittle glass,
Shattering his tomorrows, now abstract
That never can flowers shade grief, alas!

Boney brown leaves now  fall from the willow ,
For I’m draped  in the  grayest of sea-dune...
Although  a wind echoes our trill  quite hollow
This heart freezes      unmoved in my cocoon.
