Poets can take emotion and tell a story that pinpoints the pain better than most adjectives contrived in everyday conversation.

****************************************
Yesterday's Years

I am weary and full of sienna spots from a searching sun

One that poured its rays upon tender flesh while I had fun

The surf and tides washed me inside.....out

Cleansing a fool of rushed wishes...no doubt

Mixing emotions in fastidious rout.

Night calls from Ospreys hunting for snacks

Lusting like me from a passionate lack

Lonely longings for love to come back.

Standing alone upon a beach of lost time

Frothing sea foam and a half hearted rhyme

Monitoring memories through maze of my mind

The heart of night's mistress laments all her pains

Remembers the timbers of losses and gains.

Then shadows of midnight drape her with rain.

Softly she whispers as a lone tear appears

Soothing her heart from yesterday's years

Explaining the pain of her needs and her fears.

I never felt cleaner in every sence as when I would body surf as a kid in the ocean's surf, tumbling and rolling around. I was on a deep cleaning wash cycle. Very nice.
