Tidal waves


Tidal waves of desire turning, deep with my soul
Your currents pull at places I have never felt before
Drowning in sapphire eye's of oceanic splendour...
You leave me wanting...yearning...craving...more!








Imprisoned


Tears flow 
without cause 
and with little resistance
They pool 
on my cheeks
then drift,
awkwardly, 
down my neck

I know not why I cry
or for what, 
only that I do 
I feel so desolate...
so lonely, 
so void of any hope
Trapped in a life 
I don't understand, 
and with no recourse

I wish to break free
but I'm anchored 
by a cruel
twist of fate; 
so,
here I lie 
dormant

I struggle, 
to breathe, 
eat or see; 
I barely make it through the days
Yet, 
here I am;
still,
holding on 
by a solitary thread 
with broken finger nails
and hands 
too weak
to let go

Still, 
though, 
my soul rejoices in the simple; 
I only wish to roam 
free...
amongst the hills,
the trees, 
the birds, 
the clouds...
To wade in the ocean; 
to feel the moon, 
again, 
on my face

I have unwittingly
been imprisoned
by this
relentless,
barbaric disease
but to flee,
would be 
to break the ones I love... 
so
here I lie, 
still...
