Beloved LakeA Poem by HebeI visit this beautiful lake every summer, only take special people who would appreciate it, it has brought me much happiness over the years.....until...
So it all comes out in the wash
little by little phrase by phrase crazy talk....maybe? truth or dare... Ha, these sayings that evolved from life the devil at work! he's peeking through the window sunset left on the horizon immobilized in the atlantic sky seltzer wetting my lips numb with the taste of familiarity words resonating in the past tense .....over and over again some dude with a guitar, strumming Santana recklessly, with each note, drop by drop, poisons my soul.... poisons this beloved spot ....my spot! I discovered this beautiful lake, many years ago ....only good times I remember now sweat from my forehead, stains the wood, stains that won't erase his voice like a rumble of thunder! a raging storm, under his skin tempest words, bouncing off ripples in the water I do surrender to the beauty of the lake I do surrender to the melting red sunset but do I surrender to this battering .. the steps are steep to the top, the guitar has faded the view is heartbreaking from here on..... © 2016 HebeReviews
