Rebound tenderness




I’m grateful for the calm

before the storm 

My heart grows cold 

with every quiet moment

 

A welcome silence,

let my angel sleep..

My  peace is made 

with my beloved demon 


A shadowbox of room 

lit up by night 

My mind adrift, 

afloat in endless ocean 


I’m leaving this behind, 

I’m going, gone 

In retrospect I never 

really lived here 


I’m going back to messages unsent 

To moody darkness 

of eternal sunshine 


My marble terrace 

waits above the shore. 

The only home 

where I can stay forever
