Resisting

RESISTING

the romance
stirring
the horses stampeding
warm sands kiss
the nights in rodanthe*

whisper of blue
hearts angry
hurting
eyes open wide
see you
as the storm hits
its precipice

letting fingers slide
past falls away
and the wise waves
dance
swaying with grief
drawing close
all the love
you can embrace

in a memory
box
carved from
a twisted limb
the suffering
of a wooden cross

did you forget, he
saw you
looked upon your tears
...your fears
all your years
...your loss

he saw you
at the beginning
...at the end

driftwood healed
...purified gold

Carrie Richards July 11, 2017 at 2:06 PM I've seen this film, and it is captured perfectly with the same melancholy emotions of the tragic end. I loved the movie and the poem :) Kim Rodrigues July 11, 2017 at 5:00 PM Thanks so much!

Chris Green July 11, 2017 at 11:39 AM This wonderful poem has a solemn feel to it, at least to me. It bridges time and leaves the reader (me) wanting more Really nice Kim. Kim Rodrigues July 11, 2017 at 12:12 PM Thanks so much, Chris!
