Mind Wrack

Poetry today,
with words
gone astray,
leaves me
to ponder,
that hill,
over yonder.

Where every
day I would
play, and
knew what
to say.

Words now
few, have
gone askew.

Wringing
hands-
what,
to do?

wide eyed and bushy tailed,
once upon a time.

The hills became higher,
mountains.

free
climbing
now.
Every
hand hold,
along 
     the 
        way-
A betrayal
of the deepest
of me.

selfish lovers
with your
stabbing knives and steely grins.
haunting.

I challenge you.

Be
gone.
With your
“tomorrows” that never come,
promises that
never were.

You-
with your
words-
Platitudes-
Thieves of my heart.

Unworthy of the love,
I freely gave,
of me,
I freely gave,
freely-
blindly-
gave.

“More! More!”
you cry.
poured out,
an offering.
My sea, to your-
droplets.

Transition.

I.
defy.
you.

Basking,
with a true
lover.

Penguin

Into the shadows
my longing heart
stumbles.

Your smile,
touching your hair.
Laughter abounds,
you’re near.

Yawning,
The inner penguin-
delight.

Ambrosial kisses
coupled scent,
sends me
ethereal bound
longing.
