I pour over his letters
and think back to the pier
where warmth wrapped fingers
beneath the call of gulls
the waves rushed the rocks
and graced our misted faces
as he turned and kissed my forehead
moistened in sea haze
We were wrapped in the moment
and all I should have told him
was bubbling at the tip
tasting of salty spray
to sting before forgiveness
washed us in redemption
but the moment quickly passed
as the gulls left the bay
I heard him whisper gently
“we have to give this up”
blasting my baptism
tongue-tied, I turned away

sweet GA peachesover 18 years agothe reads from your random heart,
the thought a pen prevokes,
and the waves that crash into
the shore.
left me feeling that sense
of loss, tongue lays silent
while the soul screams,
' dont go ' .
very well done curious,
I am hooked, again....

Anonymousover 18 years agoYour words wrapped me in the moment effortlessly. I can smell the water and hear the gulls cry.
"We have to give this up".
What a wrenching line for this softly compelling poem, yet it does not detract from the flow of words nor the imagery.
lobomaoover 18 years agois a moment ever lost
when we plant time bombs
dreary delighful gardens
fields of mines and yours
folded up in forgotten places
only to reopen old wounds
with the careful unfolding
of an aging yellow letter
sackover 18 years agoI was going to say that the "call of galls" phrase seems to stick out as the only (unintentional?)rhyme and then it suddenly hit me...did you mean to say "gulls" ??
