Sand Castle

The sand was light in color
The clouds started to form
One by one the rain drops fell, straight down in the waiting earth
The sand grew darker
Wet enough to build a castle
I started forming the bottom
I used a cardboard box
The beams were hard to create
I'd get one done and little specks of sand would fall
When I was almost finished, the tide came in
My castle wasn't finished
It was gone before it's time.

  • Walking along the beach
    I look down
    Flat, and oval curved in just the right place.
    Index finger bent, Thumb on the side
    Feet placed shoulder width apart
    Arm brought back, Let it fly, with a flick of the wrist.
    One..........two........three......four...five..six.. Ripples form where it bounced on the water.
    Sitting at the bottom, Maybe, someday it will find it's way to another beach to take flight again.

  • To her he told only lies
    They lie in a far away tower
    Itching, burning, like diligent fireflies
    Plucked out of truth like a sad, bent little flower.

  • Thank you. My Dad's farm is on a beach in Ballycroy, Mayo, in Ireland and I had a chance of going there today - this very day - but I was too busy. :( To see it through your words gave my heart an unexpected beat I liked.
  • awww I'm sorry you didnt get to go. I went to a beach today and it was so beautiful. My daughter and I skipped stones, thats what inspired that. Good to see ya my friend.

  • Why do I even bother?
    Lies, Lies, Lies that's all I get from you.
    I will, honestly, isn't that what you said?
    Bullshit. I don't believe you.
    How can I?
    If I hang on to one little string of hope
    All I get is nothingness. Let down yet again.
    And yet, theres a little tiny bit of me that hangs on.
    Hoping, just hoping, that you will change.
    I love you, and I dont know why.

  • There is a bit of hedonist in you.
    and if I am reflected at the right angle.
    I can see a little in me too.

    It is best exemplified at moments like this, when we revert back to our primal nature: the twist and sully
    of limbs. the reckoning of mass and gravity.

    reconfiguration of genes
    until we shed our own light.
    independent of solarity.

    Illumination is easy in darkness
    or at least I am pretending.
    I am not so sure about you.

    There are times when aurora borealis
    takes your place
    and leaves even me shining.

    I can't be free with what's locked inside of me...
