Pitted Murex
if i am to be vacant of companionship and communion with you
then all has been my own dream. i have dreamed of a field
spread-loved by graceful golden wheat and you, the wind
which caressed a life-war torn spirit; trembling hands.
my own as-had as dreams as worn as ancient book bindings
~ lost within the smolders of everywhere.
was youth easy when anchors were drawn upon the bow
and all waves were frolicked star crests upon our arms?
picking up the discarded shells of the battle front-life
a patch of beach-white untouched by strife; i picked up
a pitted murex and placed it next to my heart.
