Rendezvous with Nothing New

Despite these clouds
I have seen better days
Ocean’s waves
Cary my heart so many
Different ways

The wind that carries
Me now leads me on
Adventures.
But I am always
Forced to go another way
By the barrier reef that
surrounds my heart with
the emotions she gave.

This reef continues to
Grow thicker every day since
That winter when my love
Lost its comrade with whom
I would embark with on each adventure

I was left behind…
I have searched
For another to be mine.
But I always find myself
Lacking the desire for a different
Mind.

She was the one who I wanted to find.
And I have cried rivers only
To settle those waves that pull me away
Now cold rain leaves me without
Vision
I cannot make a decision
Which way to go.
So I always return back
To the emotions only she use
To know.
