Halcyon Heart
Inner emotion well up,
Like unstoppable dunes -
Over rocky shores.
Vain attempts to suppress this trembling heart;
Even as the day grows dim.
Desperately reaching out to you,
Yet my words are lost
On winds of this sea.
Undying love from my essence;
Yearns for tenderness.
As tears trace lines;
Naked and exposed
A soul lost in the rain.
