look east when you leave west (Free verse) by Caducus
Feeling atlas blue
the Atlantic pulse quickens;
pulling me in currents
I fight it with leaden arms
to a face down death.
Staring at the ocean you loved
my soup of bones.
Soon you leave.
Leaving your poetry
on scarred skies of empty lines;
looking east on top of the World
as I look west from hell,
whispering to greek gods
'return her to me.'
I will sleep now
weep now
keep somehow the memories,
the smile from her eyes
warmth of skin,
till her triple seven sunrise
Leaves me some of her within.
Iâll never love again
be loved again this way
write another poem
for I lived a sonnet this day.
