Ocean Sway (first Prose post)

Oh love, wash me away

leave nothing of me

where I was

and where I’m not

You shall be

living, breathing

all of me;

and we shall live

beyond ourselves

at last

lost in love

one so vast.

fight or flight

He said these words to me

“You have Flight or Flight, you fight but fly off every time!!!”

This stung

but truth is not meant for feeling.

Reeling slightly, I stumbled

“Yeah, I guess but it’s always been for the best”

Yet with him, I fled when truly I should have planted my feet instead.

Heaven help me,

hindsight is foresight

and this last endeavour

taught I am not always in the right.

framing him

You double expose my film

every time, blurring lines

like the lens can’t quite focus

there’s always light strands

making you tinsel in colour

hues beyond words, floating

and that sideways smile

keeps me trying to capture

your perfection

been afraid of changing because

I built my life

around you

¥{}¥{}¥{}¥{}¥{}¥{}¥{}¥

here I am

moons later

oceans tide,

so low

these heart beats

slowly waning

I ask thee true

“Have we sailed too far from the blue, to make our way back out of this storm ? “

as you try and find land, I wade in the shallow covered in these shifting sands...

proverbial fork

You’ve become ice blue

like glaciers passed Meziadin

where we’d build fires

just to be close

before the next bend

your amber coals

fed me warmth

flaming heart smiles

Why are you so cold my love ?

I wonder, as I look back from whence we came.

Your colours have changed...

pity party

all are invited

though,

no shows are a norm

I swirl and perform

mirror, mirror, I do recall

though,

certainly not the fairest of them all

I can sing and dance

and hope by chance to be seen

I am Queen Bee,

lonely or alone,

all has nothing on me

dunno, why?! Seriously

your body moves

against my grain

why are we here again?!

election night foresight

the crown fails

the hand wavers

words crooked

lies are but a

back bone

to fall back on

and so on and so

Country falls wayside

once again, somewhere

in the middle, people

patiently waiting

Tilt me

dancing

sideways

swinging away with me

always

swaying

to the left

while I lean

to the right

we still have internal rhythm

a continuum all melodies allow
