Decaying Former Mental Paradise

Folder: 
2015

Anyone can love a beach

But once you leave, it's impossible to recreate the grains of sand

comprising the minute details memory offers

 

No, this isn't where I left my heart

This decaying former mental paradise

frigid with unspoken contempt

long from yesterday's tidal prowess

 

I plead to grant serenity from this place

this morose ocean of faltering self-acceptance

with its jagged icy bed of unwavering fear underneath

tearing away flesh from the bone without 

layer upon layer of protection from these unfamiliar elements 

like boots of cynicism, and gloves defeating the frostbite to bear

but cloaking any yearning to clasp the fresh air 

ever again 

 

No, this isn't where I left my heart 

the sand stings in tandem with arctic chill

thwarting every vessel crimson once filled

"...ocean of faltering self-acceptance..." I paused at this line and reread it several times. Amazing concept well composed and expressed ~allets~
