alternative avenues

darkness doesn’t win

i cannot remember
a day
when darkness
didn’t cover me
in a cloak
when light
barely broke
through a crack
in the shade
when opening
the door
took every bit
of strength
that i no longer
had

you kept on calling

oh my child

oh my boy
exhausted be you
rest
while the party
continues
music plays
in the street
and i feel
my feet would dance
for a few more hours

oh my son
fatigued you be

while the chores
be through

with apprehension

baby steps
i feel more like a crawl
wanting
my security blanket
that was tossed

lost in thought

her smile
faded
as time ticked away
she remembering
a lustful love
her heart always
aching for more
she remembering
carefree days
building
sand castles
watching the sea sweep
them away
she remembering
promises
that were never to be broken
