Ebb Tides

An ebb and flow only to ebb once more

Amidst the poison flume 

The wave of emotions suddenly

Floods me, overwhelming

The undercurrent pulls the earth 

Right from under me

Dazzling, corrosive emotions fling

Like salt water in my eyes, They sting

And enveloped in a noxious mist,

I witness only a white tinged darkness

Waves shatter upon me 

Like a hammer on an anvil

I rupture, abreast the trample

Of your ocean in its in entirety

Full force, full-scorn

Forsworn, forgotten and forgone

My words to sooth your savage hydra

Are yet to be born... because...

My heart is torn

You know to me, a simple word would suffice

But to unleash all your beasts

To unleash the full force of your sea

Only because you could no longer deny,

No longer hide, all your feelings inside...

If not to me, my love, then to who

Would you confide?

I wait to watch the sea recede,

As the darkness creeping over the horizon rises

My body bleeds heat, as you stand in front

But not near me, adjunct, defunct

Since when have you been plotting to leave me?

It's cold, traipsed in an ebb tide

Exposed to the world

Alone, with nowhere to hide

I hear a siren cry, like a herald

Bidding me to say goodbye

Standing Ashore,

Drenched in memories, wet

Beneath a sunless sky

Far from a forgiving flame

The bitter winds run their course

My tears are warm, but only for a moment;

As I remember missing a glorious sunset
