Parting is such Sweet Sorrow

she holds her head between
her hands, letting grief bend
her neck and sorrow drain
her mind of once happy memories.
she let’s the tears
forge a trail
down her cheek. Slowly the
happy memories begin to eat
away at the darkness that had
been slowly devouring her

a beach. soft and sandy. the sky.
clear and blue. an ocean.
made of Dreams and Desires. facing
the sky, only ever seeing what
the sky sees. the air, thick
and warm. clouds her nostrils with
his scent. he reaches towards her.

hesitates.

abandons his attempt. she senses
his desire. smiles.

reaches. towards him.
puts, her arm in his.

the sea only ever sees
what the sky sees.

she cradles her head on his
chest. breathes him in. soft smell
of pine and lavender.

she smells clean. and of vanilla.

the tide comes in. goes out.
the sun is warm.

clouds.

he wraps his arm around her
waist. a shiver. delicious
shiver. pulls her closer. they stop
walking

pulsing. pulsing. pulsing. breathing.

pulsing. their hearts together. the water.

pulsing. a wild beat. so natural. like breathing. dancing.

pulsing. two hearts intertwining into one.

they kiss. fire dances in their veins. ice freezes the fire. forever burning.

the sea only ever sees
what the sky sees.

passion sashaying in
peacock colors.

TIME
IS RUNNING
OUT.


desperate breaths of air.

pulsing. pulsing. pulsing. breathing.

strangled whimpers as they
continue to hold one another
and kiss.

urgent nee to be together. they pull closer. sparks ignite and fly
through the air.

they fall to the ground,
into the surf.

the water pulls them into its
primitive beat, enticing them
to join its wild dance.

the sea only ever sees
what the sky sees.


hands. everywhere. to stop. to
invite. to play. to work. to love.

to stop.

pulsing. pulsing. pulsing. breathing.

loving.

crying.

he slowly
pulls away.
smiles.

she licks her lips.
smiles back.

her smile fades. she sits up.
suddenly.

he loses balance.
falls off.

confused looks.

i can’t. spoken, thought. regretted.

the sea only ever sees
what the sky sees.

love, understanding. takes her hand gently.

i understand. whispered. meant.

pulsing.
pulsing.
pulsing.
breathing.

parting.

sweet sorrow.

she cries. cries because she’ll never see him again.

her love lies in an eternal sleep.
