Silken sands burying my toes
Whispering waves lapping on the shore
My memories of youth, stirred by the sea
The warmth of summer, embracing me.
Laughter glittering over the dunes
Children playing in the sand
Families talking, loving, relaxing
No mention of money, work, cars.
Magical, isn't it?
How a beach can make you feel
Regaining your forgotten childhood
Feeling an overwhelming peace.
Sun blazing in a crystal sky
Blankets of heat for free
Oiled bodies crisping on fluffy towels
The occasional celebrity too.
My heart, My soul is the ocean
One tiny step and I'm home
Miniature fish kissing my toes
Swimming to nowhere but par
Sat alone, waiting for noone
Empty yet filled with malice
A hopeless case
No blood flowing, just ice.
I remember that day we laughed
laughed till we cried
Do you?
Could you even picture us smiling now?
Three Empty Shells
Broken claws on a desolate rock
I found them and thought of you
My empty shell, My malice filled claws.
Can't tell them what I'm feeling now
Suicidal thoughts, not my choice
I wanted you dead
It's true.
Left alone on that desolate rock
Alone with the shells and the sea
I still hate you, I still love you
Tempting my thoughts
Burning my life
Distorting my vision
I asked you to go
I didn't want you to obey
Sat alone, waiting for noone
Empty yet filled with malice
A hopeless case
No blood flowing, just ice.
I remember that day we laughed
laughed till we cried
Do you?
Could you even picture us smiling now?
