Turbulent Tides

25 May 2010

hellfire
somehow
the distance
seems wider,
impossible almost
I should have known
that
our tide
would
run its course,
when
visions of him
lay so awkwardly strewn,
tattooed
behind your smile,
and betrayed
by your eyes,
as he
frolics
among the rapids
of yesterday
and me
hoping,
foolishly hoping
not quite
the perfect painting
that
you were searching for
somehow
the strokes were off
or maybe
it was just the way
the light seemed to 
bounce off
the barren landscape of my heart
how do I conquer
thismirage?
when I am just
thirsty.
for love, true love
how I wish
this season would pass
I love you,
but
I see nothing, but winter
In your eyes…
