Ocean Drive

I’ve driven past the 
mist of your ghostly 
existence—recalling
only in maddening dreams 
that you once embraced me
with love in your heart.

Now you engulf me in 
soundless, depthless 
waves that crush 
all hope.

This is a wonderful companion poem to "Now." The way you describe the pounding seems like a great metaphor. As I keep noticing, you have the means to stir up feelings with words. I'm glad "Now" was posted after this. How do you produce so much great verse in one day?
