Pine


somewhere he had lost his humanity
and tears at me past any band of elastic
words so silent scream inside my head
as I walk the beaches of hot sand
dreams are just another type of torture
as grass feels cool under my feet in movement
and my heart longs for lightening bugs
playing a quiet lullaby on a creaking porch
the gulf knows no sorrow quite like the smell
of crying pines

"no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love"  Anne Rice

Your poetry speaks to me when you write from the shores of your Gulf. Your voice is clear and I feel everything you project.

love,
