Ebb TidesA Poem by AbraxasbirdAn ebb and flow only to ebb once moreAmidst the poison flume The wave of emotions suddenly Floods me, overwhelming The undercurrent pulls the earth Right from under me Dazzling, corrosive emotions fling Like salt water in my eyes, They sting And enveloped in a noxious mist, I witness only a white tinged darkness Waves shatter upon me Like a hammer on an anvil I rupture, abreast the trample Of your ocean in its in entirety Full force, full-scorn Forsworn, forgotten and forgone My words to sooth your savage hydra Are yet to be born... because... My heart is torn You know to me, a simple word would suffice But to unleash all your beasts To unleash the full force of your sea Only because you could no longer deny, No longer hide, all your feelings inside... If not to me, my love, then to who Would you confide? I wait to watch the sea recede, As the darkness creeping over the horizon rises My body bleeds heat, as you stand in front But not near me, adjunct, defunct Since when have you been plotting to leave me? It's cold, traipsed in an ebb tide Exposed to the world Alone, with nowhere to hide I hear a siren cry, like a herald Bidding me to say goodbye Standing Ashore, Drenched in memories, wet Beneath a sunless sky Far from a forgiving flame The bitter winds run their course My tears are warm, but only for a moment; As I remember missing a glorious sunset © 2013 AbraxasbirdAuthor's Note
