Overcoming thoughts of You

Overcoming thoughts of You

20 November 2016

 

The days fading fast

Into oblivion of nights

Detonation blast

 

The mind’s explosion

Into realms of darkness creep

Whispers of autumn

 

Widowed eyelids weep

Parting of the eyebrows raised

Holding soft the gaze

 

Remnants of spring’s path

Sun kissed blossoms now fading

The weeds invading

 

Gardens in simmers

Under a sun that glimmers

Dying rays wet kiss

 

Water down the hills

Dark tides flowing into sands

Ice into Islands

 

Ebb and flow pursue

Within the changing seasons

Shades of my mind’s blue

 

Hope of morrows faint

Reflux a lesson of tides

Tireless happenings

 

Rearranging stills

Breathing through invented gills

Dead canvas to paint

 

The brush strokes in clues

Overcoming thoughts of You

Bold red and blue hues

 

Reading of the poem: 

Soldier of Love – Sade

King of Sorrow – Sade

By Your Side – Sade
