Evaporate

Evaporate

A Poem by Scott Lee

Even if black words lie broken apart
and you are left bleeding alone and naked
by the shoreline
waiting to drown...

Even if dreams turn blue against her steady green

A stealthy hand turns levers in your heart,
pulls out
rugged mountains
you carried alone.

A stealthy hand unleashes rain
helps carve a river down your center
and turns you upside down and right side up,
from all directions flow the waters.

Even if words fall apart and scatter away
like little feet that once were yours-
Still running through thorns
for a chance to ride a priceless, summer river.

Even if she evaporates-
her shiny dew drops absorbed back into sky.

At least you had a chance to love and hold and know
her stare shined for you like moonlight wind caressing
pines- how her gleam dared to illumine shadows turning dark skeletons into impressive, majestic creatures singing praise unto the night.

Even if her hate settles down like haunting embers
leaving eternal scars to burn and burn and burn away.

My love is always here anyway
glowing mysterious in majestic pines.
