The heartbreak of each new parting,

makes me wonder why we say hello.

It leaves me unsettled and wanting,

though I try so hard not to show,

the pain in my heart of the parting,

each bittersweet delaying farewell,

leaving me reeling and hurting,

cast back to my solitary hell.

Seagull Reflected

 

 

 

 

 

 

Circling seagulls soulfully

Singing sea shanties

Sorrowfully surf sea-shores

Still waters run deep

Injured hearts still weep

Lakes full, tears run dry

Sleek swans glide by

We are together you and I,

destined to be conjoined.

We cannot part,

though I have tried –

two sides of the same coin.

 

You have your demons,

I have mine,

our paths not meant to cross,

parted from our distant poles,

without you I am lost.

 

Your heart refrains my harmony,

our breath is intertwined,

your dreams haunt mine,

I shadow yours,

you dwell within my mind.

 

Our souls can’t be dissevered,

but neither can they join;

we are from different planets,

defying space and time.

You took my dreams;

 

The swallows of my autumn years,

and banished them without a care.

You defiled and destroyed their virgin flight,

ones that remained have migrated to the winter sun.

 

So hopeful and fresh in the youth of their summer state;

but summer soon passed, and I did not see it happen.

The leaves of youth have fallen and…

the sorrow of winter tears cover them in frost.

I still hear their distant cries,

and the smell of their season.

 

I have their memories and the calls of their summer song.

So long departed, so far away, but…

I still feel the warmth of their summer.

Goodbye my Swallow friends, may you find

your dreams on a distant shore.

Dreams that are not mine, but can be lived,

once more…
