i dangled my heart
…………………………in front of you

you didn’t take
a nibble
you took a bite

my life
suddenly turned
inside out
couldn’t scream
couldn’t shout
the emotions
dripped from my skin
your eyes laughed
whimsically
my painted toes danced
capriciously

in a desolate state of mind
the only cure
abandoning the multitude of thoughts
that seem be be a constant flow
hoping the tide will drag
them out to sea
leaving one on this empty beach
with merely one thought
survival

like that pier
it has

sunlight lit the sky
waking the horizon
casting shadows on what once was

a new day
filled with anticipation
ready yourself for exploration
don’t waste time
packing a bag
open your mind
let truth
find its way
survey
probe
quest
for genuineness
