Cold sheets

A fitful night
filled with raging tears
screams of anguish, anger
torrents of agony,
waves of loneliness.

All spent
crumbled into the past
blowing away
as dust
just above
the place where we
consummated our vows.

And now
it is only the place
where the sheets
are more knotted
than the ties
of our promise

and even amid
the heat and pain of angst,
they grow cold
and bind no more than
the fate of the future.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
