LONG

STORY CUT

SHORT.

STORMY SEA

Churning
like the stormy sea.
Thoughts.

Abandon them.
Try.
At least.

Waves hitting hard
against
age old rock.

Like that
I need to weather
this storm.

SILENCE

Like a firing squad
your stoney silence.
Hitting my soul.

A blank sheet,
a stare.
I know that you can talk.

No, I can not.
Play along.
Anymore.

It seems a game.
Hide and seek.
It’s not going well.

At least for me.
Unsure,
What to say.

I have to hide.
Behind an artificial 
veil of silence.

SIGNS OF A FAILED MARRIAGE.

5 YEARS OF SOLITUDE

My body
shakes violently
sometimes

My heart
pounding like an iron hammer
against my chest

Silent nights
open eyes
turning thoughts

Short sleep
Recurring dreams
of caring embraces

Morning
has broken
a shattered spirit

I say farewell to the house
I say good bye my beloved cats
Empty heart

5 years
of solitude
soon come to an end.
