Scowl the strongest defense, 
how I wished upon a fantasy; 
Allow someone to dig deeper,
now will someone see me? 

Cliche’ to blame the movies;
Array of visions in my mind 
convey such an image of true love; 
Castaway courts a concept undefined.

Castaway

If stranded on a tropical island
                         and could have but 3 things,
                         I would choose,   

                          A knife.

                          A box of matches.

                          And a Walmart.


A Slow Death

She died of a 
                                               Broken heart
                                     Crushed under the weight 
                                                        Of
                                              Castaway lovers !

Premium Member A Keepsake

A world without setting alarms;
Cliche clocks are my enemy, 
way too good at ruining fun;
Castaway I’ll stay out at sea;

Island wake up suits me just fine ,
sand all over my toes at daybreak;
Hand on my lips enjoy silence,
brand this view into a keepsake.

Uncaptured sympathies 
From the lost departed 
No turning back 
All plans are thwarted 
Revelations and tears
Washed away with the rain 
Forgotten tragedies 
Unspoken in vain 
Here I am a castaway
On a passengerless ship
Thanks for the freedom 
No longer your whip

The Cross

For at the time
The skin concealed his bones'
As the skin bleed threw
And threw,
This is a day for justice
For the Gentile and
The Jew
Oh, castaway all thy sin
Let the Holy threw
Fore Jesus is right and
God is might
And Restoration is anew
Let God bless you

Drifting Away

2-24-10

I'm a castaway
On a ship far away
Everyone is gone,
And I'm the only one.

Ever so slightly, the boat drifts on...
Drenched in the brackish sorrow, 
I wait for nothing but the morrow

If you care - turn your eyes to the sea
There is all the tears I have shed for thee.

You Haunt My Mind

I am stranded on this beautiful isle, but you're not here. Thoughts of you haunt my mind Grief entwines me with chains that crush my heart. I am a castaway without your smile. September 24, 2020 ~ Double Tetractys 3 Sponsored by: Eve Roper ~ Photo #4

Echoes of Unrequited Night


Staring at the stars in the sky
Hollow heart,cast under the shadow of love
Forgotten, downtrodden
Castaway,the fate of the misbegotten
Cursed to wander the desert of the unloved
Thirst and hunger through the mist of eternal pain
Starved of amourity
The biting darkness,my old friend.

Alone
At some random airport
In a remote desolate place
Somewhere on some map
Stranded all night long

With nothing to see
Time stopped still
Idle on my hands
Hours stretched

Nothing to do
Sit and wait
And face
My own
Anxiety

Gentle Days and Castaways

With a gentle day,
Comes a nice sunny sky,
With no clouds to the eye,
A careless whisper,
And a time for fun,
With a castaway,
You’re never done,
They watch them simmer,
Under the rising sun,
A chance where they need to run,
And go through the gentle day,
But still be a “difficult”,
Cast-a-way.

The Masquerade

How peculiar it is
To live life behind a mask
Everyday we do our bits
to play along the cast

We’re led along by our heartstrings
Shallow and fickle all
Why are we obsessed with ‘things’?
Never in it for the long haul..

Life has become material and cheap
Yet we all still cosplay
Find something real and deep
These masks we’ll castaway..

Thought Not Full

Sitting trying to say sorry to the person who you hurt the most
or listening to the person who hurt me the most trying to say sorry
The broken me
Fiercely hating empathy
Psychosis my medication
Wishing the part that feels the felts
was disbanded and castaway on desolate sand
Deserted the pest
unclench the fist
Emotions i resist

The air feels different 
Forgiving, even kind!

Chicadees & Robins flitting 
From bushes to trees 
Recon flights scouting 
Proper nesting sites

A Bald Eagle flew overhead 
This morning as I travelled
The motorway 
Good luck!

A muddy penny, unloved, castaway
Zinc replaced copper 
Time replaced need

Escape from Winter's icy womb!

Goodbye Tomorrow

A voice goes silent
  in the distant wind

No tracks to follow
  no path within

Muses cry
  as shadows fade

Their chorus faint
  with dreams unmade

The past abandoned
  tomorrow gone
   
This moment orphaned
  the night so long

Goodbye tomorrow
  farewell today

All hope now fleeting
  —time castaway

He laid on the beach
Soft surf washing his feet
A red plastic cup clutched in his hand
Sun glistening off his salt coated cheeks
Two crabs walking the beach
Stopped and shook their claws
A shark fin cut a V in the shallows
Waiting for the tide to come in
Seagulls stole fries at the hot dog stand
He would awaken sun burnt and hung over
Claiming he had fallen overboard

Oblivion

The waters of Lethe roil in and out
To cast its fury all about
A castaway upon the strand
Dreams of far off ancient lands
Every memory flung alight
Countless dirges in their flight
The cost is naught, only the will
Which denigrates beneath the swill
And I awash within that grip
Have only but to take a sip
To pass beyond these moon lit shores
To wake and dream no more

Thank God, It's Friday

Love Toy

Castaway as an old toy
Broken with rusting parts 
Paint pealing wood showing
Thrown away like trash

Pickup and repaired
New paint rust removed
I am no longer blue
Given to a new soul

White heart brand new
Like Christmas morning
Eyes bright and shinning
Smiles lighting up the room

Unwrapped bow removed
Playing all day with you
Gently placed upon bed
Still thinking of you

The Cross

Fore at the time
The skin concealed His bones'
          -------
As the skin bleed through
       And Through
 This is a day for justice
     For the Gentile
         -- and --
          The Jew
           ------
Oh, castaway all thy sin
   Let the holy threw
Fore Jesus is right and
   God is might
        And
Restoration is anew
Let God bless you!

Tides of Life

I have
to be strong
when the longing
presses...

When
a wind
fiercely,
squeezes
 the link
of the pain...!

When
the loneliness
deafening
thunders,
and my soul
it floods...
when
browses
to cross
the storms...
loneliness and
longing,
are tides
that alternate...
low tide
throbs.
high tide
suffocates!

Who suffers
is the heart
this poor sailor
so innocent
 as much
castaway...!
