A torn page turned to confetti dust

 


The dust settles on the sandy street.

A promenade.

Grains of a day, long swept into

dusty opaque history,

where we walked and smiled,

laughed and kissed,

touched the night

and felt it brush our lips.

Felt like forever,

but these slippery dreams

forget those moments missed,

the hurt that persists.

Now those dreams and I cannot co-exist.

That version of me was ripped to bits.

A torn page turned to confetti dust

 

So, to the one that now exists,

walking out in the poetic wilderness,

words wont form on his dry lips.

Love sits in the deserts of emptiness,

dried out after his last kiss.

Now dusty bits sit where once

happy flowers would reminisce

 

Eyes closed tight, against this desert night,

The freezing cold welding them tight.

Tears no longer form,

hurt, loss and that feeling

forlorn.

Just become sandstorms.

Shredding everything in sight,

and cold winds

that finish it all off

with a bite.

 

Eyes coated,

a layer like the earth's crust,

grit, sand and dust.

Itchy reminders of a lost heart

torn from your chest by a wicked hand.

To combust

in the burning sun

A heart you could ill afford to give away,

and still tears won't ever run,

where once loves water flowed.

Devilish transgressions

hidden behind angelic expression

the oasis made

the place seem like heaven,

for that one special day.

 

Now the desert houses another oasis

Where my thirst, hunger and longing

Are for the one who now resides in

My deep-water dreams.

where everything seems

To fit so much better at the seams,

Where the low light and the sunbeams,

blend into all-new majestic streams
