The Tides Don't Wake the DeadA Poem by Heather Louise ArgibayLife is like the tides It ebbs and flows between
the good and bad..... A constant to and fro... I’m just here for the
ride... I float on the crest and wait for the peak to
crash over and SMASH Me into the sand..... A washed on an empty
shoreline.... So where has the sea
brought me to now???? An Island of solitude , a paradise
of my own creation..... Unlike cast away, I don’t a
volley ball, There will be no
"Wilson", Give me some pencils and a
paper and I can create my own universe.... No need for company.... No vacancy.... So sail your ship
elsewhere.... My feet rest on the warm
grains of sand My head resides in the
cumulous mists….. And yet my torso is stuck
somewhere in the middle.... It’s irrelevant, my limbs are
disconnected and I’m unplugged.... Raw creativity flows from
my veins Like a river of blood from
a stuck pig drained and disemboweled Ready to be devoured raw… Consumable, Non-reusable,
Combustible, Irrefutable….Fuel…. Burn Baby Burn….. Let me watch you dance…. The flames lick your
flesh…. Caressed by hot death…. The aroma enticing,
entrancing, intoxicating, I drank your potion…. Breathe you
in…inhale…exhale….. Release the blazing ash
from my lungs…. Breathe in…. Breathe out… More dark sepsis expels from
the orifices of my Face ….. Laughter…. Where are you? Flash of teeth…..your
smile…. A flicker of your eyes….. Twinkle twinkle….. The images of your face are
gone again…
And the darkness descends… The sun is setting…. The waves still crashing…..
The wind is blowing… The fire is smoldering…. The silence is piercing…. Drops of red… trickle down
my neck…. Delicious pain radiates
through my collar…. A cool breeze has left my skin chilled… Heart gives one last
palpation, your last kiss…. Heavenly divine And I am me…and you are
you…. so far far away, let me
be…. And I will carry on in my
secret seclusion…. Do not wake the dead.
