Raging winds
Surges over the planks
Sea walls failing
30 foot swales
Lightning
Tropical
Flags whipping

Then ...
It stops
Blue sky in the swirl
Sun peeking thru
Birds come back out
Waters subside
People emerge
Gather damage

Lightning starts again
Winds come from
Another direction

It’s starting again

What it’s like to love you...

I’ve took them all
Our songs
Your poems
Pictures
Artwork shared that were on the
Walls of my heart

Shared
Sentiments
Went on a mission to eradicate

In dreams I hear you call to me
It’s still there
Summoning me
Crying out
‘I’m in pain...’

Took it all
To the edge of the world
And watched it go over the edge
Happy now
All of it gone
Only to return home
To find
Your art back up on my walls
Your words in my notebooks
Your songs playing on the radio
Your pictures in my head

I can’t escape this sentence
The walls of your prison
This is life

Over the billions of years...
I just happen to come across
The most beautiful
Space Dust
Ever created

What were the chances?
**** that woman is her own
Galaxy

If all...
You’re known for in this life
Is loving someone
The right way
Just one
And you put all the distractions
Temptations
Sinful nature
Of us
Away

You are brave
Truly

Enjoy that

The worst thing that could ever
Happen
Ever

Is to lose sight of you
To say
‘I’m taking a break...I’ll be around though’
Then disappearing
Going away
Forgetting
Then 10, 15, 20 years
Down the road
Seeing you and saying
‘Hey you...remember me?’

There is no hole
To crawl under...
No cave from which
To escape and dwell
In peace...
No desert to traverse
By which a tranquil
Oasis resides...
No rainstorm heavy
Enough to wash away...
Not enough words
To form sad poems
In requiem...
To dispel
To dispatch
To run the lengths
To sleep in relative quiet
Without waking in tears...
Once
You’ve lost
A Beautiful Love
