PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Indian Summer
By Muriel Palanca

You made me believe the world would always be enough 
Because it had you in it.
But that's not true.

I am enough.

I am a force of nature. 
I am poetry and anarchy,
Devastation and all its beauty,
Luscious rain and Indian summer.

You can keep everything I gave you:
All the things you threw away.
And I'll be ok. Truly.

But there are times when
I'm on the brink of dissolving into
a million little pieces

And I'm surprised it would be that many
Because you still have
So much

Of me.
