Poem: Aria Of Was

 

Aria Of Was

 

fiery palms of leaves

clasp through long goodbyes.

my failures exit as well

yet cling with the audacity of tombs.

 

i will not kiss again,

no chisel to extend the was of my lips.

no pyramid of joys to reclimb,

though my face chances to form

on the crawl of weeping sands.

 

phrases of lusty rain

strum blue ocean’s breath;

so i played the yields of love,

blending heave and song. 

 

but mine was a music of solos,

and the ocean, in the end, stands alone.

the pas de deux of hearts in storms

cannot cure what caskets store

in their cold breasts.
