Remnants Loved

Remants Loved

we might walk along
the ocean shore
to collect driftwood
a carnage
i implore
washed here from
other distant lands

or linger as i do now
in your embrace
listening to words
that will leave
no sign or trace
we have been here as
the wind and sea
carry footprints

away so effortlessly
but tell me only
of your
passion filled heart
and do not share
that which you
should not impart
of secrets once shared

with another heart true
who you left for a time
  so that you
  could walk with me
  here to collect driftwood
  washed smooth and clean
remnants loved and
left by the sea

Driftwood Opinions


Opinions swirling
like dust at your
feet resemling bits
of driftwood carnage

Upon which should you
choose to pay respect
as royalty would when
they are paying homage

Whilst sand and seas
polish them smooth a
tabula rasa is left you
amidst fragile ideals
