Undelivered

Breathing in sunny ironic air
Sinking solace in summer sand
The emptiness of the rocky void, overwhelms
my senseless reaping of your devotion.

Perhaps it was for the better; our memories
were part of my deep windy dreams
rustling between the Palms. Hands
clasped to pray that our moments
together were here to stay.

A glassed letter in the beating of cerulean;
Engulfed in the never-ending knowledge
that all is but a part of this drowning history.
Brutal changes made with every crash.

The ship has moved on
Slowly, catching the breeze once it comes
forgetting the journey of how the clouds were dancing
In our ears, secret whispers,
In our hearts, the sun shoots inner rays of laughter

As the light pass away, and let the lovely moon glow,
Woe! For they were never meant to meet.
Wanting for more, their arms outstretch
the closest embrace, their difference the days
Footsteps deep shadows hung beneath
the dark clouds. It started to pour.

As the sea rush to shore, our footprints fade
away. I decided to leave because of this bittersweet
disappointment under the droplets of burning salt.
My message in a bottle
has returned this shore once again.
