Ebb and Flow

Two outlawed souls with flames embedded

In their minds; and from a far distance

They share their sparks and shredded

Thoughts of life to explain their existence

 

----

 

Calm

Builds tension

As the desperate wind

Mangled the leaves and sticks

Taking them onto the road; A stockade

For useless things like cars and human tricks

 

The girl is swept out of her house to the streets:

She has neglected the wilderness and

Now it has cast its vengeance

Shrieking in the form

Of darkness and

A storm

Echoes

Distantly from

Longing screams of agonies

Only believed in dreams and love

The condemned isolation of a stranger

Forces the sacrifice of belief from above

 

The ecstasy surrenders her to her invisible foe

Takes control away from her conscientious

Thoughts and so; she tumbles unaware

So vulnerably away from harm

Astonished and laughing

In foreign arms

A boy

His ocean eyes contain

Raging waves; A constant and

Obscene struggle against a word or face

She doesn’t know or care for now; Over Thunder's

Roars, She whispers, "This is not the time or place"

 

Seconds and she is no more there than the required sanity

Of innocent nightmares sobbed at half past midnight

That he douses with a touch: For now though

They lay unchallenged in introduction

Witness to natures affinity for

Destruction

 

----

 

Two stray creatures drifting in the waves

Breathing in with the consistent ebb and flow

Leave them innocently floating; handcuffed slaves

To love and the world that lies below

I love the formatting of this poem first off all, it just adds to the effect. i love the idea of handcuffed slave's to love and the world that lies below
i also like the tone, the lightness of it. I wonder how long it took you to get everything to fit right with the formatting, i think it trully is a triumph on your part. Bravo ruby dear, BRAVO!!
