…weighs heavy on me

Neptune’s tides flow through my life
shades of blue colour my hours
and paint the broken pieces of my soul
echoes of forever drift in from the moon
dancing to an unseen orchestra
in the faraway depths of the sea
pages of us slowly turning in the night winds
like parting seas
revealing the unexpected darkness hidden within
trident raised in seas of night I feel the pull of Neptune’s rage
and from my blackened mirror, the void calls to me
unfathomable alchemy, the sea and I
our unfulfilled waves endlessly returning
in whispers of yesterday’s pain
now tides of sorrow flow alone
with tears we never cried
I am wrapped in the arms of the sea and the sirens call to me
eyes full of oceans I cannot see
my heart filled with sand that aches to be free
the ebb weighs heavy on me
