The Ocean Gave Her Quarters ©2002 C.G. Ward she used to pretend that nighttime was safety and the stars her guide to a peace she couldn’t find while he fumbled drunken desire across the frailty of her innocence. but the sea brims with violence and sacred was not secret. feet will still trip over leaves in the dark. so when the ocean gave her quarters, she buried her tears in the sand. |

Which makes me realize something ... why did I title mine a rain song to the sea? Oh well, it's a bit different, 'cause pDv asked me to use something with dainty hands... I love the final lines. And the rest of it, a'course. She said burn ... together. |

I can't believe I missed this...it's marvelous Christopher.. the imagery, the flow, the phrasing...all marvelous. actually I'm going to keep it. M Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |
