Rebuilding…commence!
New poem. Written on a rain-sprinkled walk down by the water. Enjoy :P.
Rebuilding…commence!
It’s raining.
Surprise, surprise.
I’m acutely unaware
of a hand to hold,
another body’s warmth.
Everything I see
reminds me of her:
the flower I wish I’d given,
the grass I want to pad her happy footsteps,
the forest bench and ocean air I wish I could share
with her.
But somehow I’m reminded of you.
Yonder bench is overgrown,
bright pink flowers wrapping their coils
’round its faded seat,
perhaps reminders of its happy memories,
a guarded relic,
preserved,
protected,
and here I sit enclosed
trees protect and hide me while I watch,
a solemn predator
after lonely prey.
Life goes on:
tiny flies scurry in the breeze,
grasses wave and dance,
leaves whisper their endless tunes.
Still… I’m reminded somehow of you.
But I don’t miss you…
I miss what I gave you…
wish I could give it again…
or just have it…
or see it…
Oh, rebuilding…commence!
It’s raining.
I must walk home.
Maybe I’ll be cleansed.
