Poetry
tide ebbs to the east
the sun climbs towards the west
life is give and take
Dreaming of grass skirts
Collar and tie hold me tight
Yearning for spring days
(Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s poem ‘The Raven’)
Nevermore!
Shall my lips again be parted
And from my depths that name
Restated.
Since she left me tired and broken
With a mind that’s weak and darken’d
And beyond the will to utter.
Yet, as visions begin to stutter
From my lips it slips –
Helena!
Evermore!
Silence is the sound I’m seeking
From a mind that always thinking,
And a heart that stays a flutter.
Yet as my soul descends I mutter,
While myself I keep berating
Impossibly my voice keeps grating
Just one word, my love-
Helena!
Peace No More!
To see a bright and vivid sunset
without my thoughts again beset –
Of the times together shared
When I often thought and dared
To join our lives – to be as one,
But then happiness became undone, and
Pointless life persists, without –
Helena!
Departure!
Let this life that’s lone and saddened
Terminate the grief that’s maddened.
By drawing breath and just once more
Screaming at the heavens, I’ll implore –
Banish breath from this ashen heart
And have for me a brand new life to start.
A chance to whisper once again –
Helena.
