Waves crushing
waves
beaten and done
use of the useless
thrown to harsh rocky beach like
a merry go round and roller-coaster of
life i asked
not, the whole amusement park
lying bare naked
eye muscles reaching to lid up
sand burns
my sight stings my blur
to get the wreckage up and going
is a thought passing by like a seagull
against the mesmerizing light
hope or mirage of a sunny beach
then the waves come storming
again to pull back to
her unforgiven arms
grip, lift, pull, back, hold
my breathe
in her embrace
down under at last
final time
the closing
of hopes and dreams gone and stolen
shown in glimpses
never to keep their promises
sinking
prepared and ready
to be taken to a softer ride
float in the abyss of sea
calm before my eyes
finalizing the last breathe
too soon yet
the sea is not done
nor ready
waves, the bitter fortune tellers of
my wanton wandering
throw me choking once more
on another shore
something is building
to cough up the water of existence
gasping for future
salt
in my veins
