I walk alone
Along the empty shoreline
The beach was crystal-clear
The sun was so high
I stare at the horizon
And let out a heavy sigh
The waves tickle my bare feet
Sand teases my naked fingers
I miss the days when such little things brought me joy
The days when my heart , and soul were singers
The days when I had a man in my life
He is gone now , but his shadow still lingers
When it came to forgetting in general
I was able to forget things like a phone number , or a name
But I just could not forget his dazzling smile
Or the first time he announced his love for me , under the rain
I could not simply remember how he made me feel inside
Without feeling so alone , and feeling great pain
Just get over him , I was continually advised
That simple , that direct , that plain
Many people might’ve done that , but I could not
Come on , Not all lovers are the same !!
I could not go on like that ..
Things were very vague and unclear
I was very tired
So full of sadness , so full of fear
That’s why I am where I am now
That’s why I came here.
An idea comes to me
A thought captures my mind
I feel sudden power
Coming deeply , from my inside
I write his name in the wet sand ,
Sit there and wait
It will be soon gone
Taken away with every wave
The water comes and goes
And I am still there , waiting to see my fate
A long time passes
And the name is still there ,out of reach
He could not be erased from my life
Neither by me , or by the beach !
I burst with anger and bend on my knees
Dig through the name with both my hands
I scratch and scarp
And throw away handfuls of sand
I work and destroy
And change all the configurations of the land
After all this madness
I throw myself and lay on the damp ground
I lay there forever, saying nothing
The soft waves are the only sound
I raise my head and look , the name was gone !
The sand was silent , and read no meaning
This land has once carried so much emotions and love
But now it was nothing but a blank open clearing
That sand was nothing but sand
I realize that and start beaming
I Stand up
I run and run
I cherish the land
And kiss the sun
I am librated
I am free
Nothing is tying me down
No one is controlling me
I yell that out loud
And dive into the blur chrysalis sea ………..
