Ashes
When I open my eyes I see rain.
Your beauty inside masks your pain.
You love me then push me away;
You taunt me then ask me to stay.
What is left but human remains?
Scattered ashes on sullen days.
Life crumbling like rocks into waves.
Love lost in a turbulent haze.
Your beauty inside masks your pain.
You love me then push me away;
You taunt me then ask me to stay.
What is left but human remains?
Scattered ashes on sullen days.
Life crumbling like rocks into waves.
Love lost in a turbulent haze.

Hmmm ... beautiful ... and so apropos ... since I am sitting on my balcony ... enjoying the predawn breeze at the beach ...

The weather here is fine also...I've been reading Keats...Hence the morbid nature of my poem.
