The Beach Concert
   

Stretched on the chaise-logue of memories,

I listen to the strings as they

stretch taut and

cut my heart.

 

My eyes sting with the salt,

as they pour forth

the times gone by.

A steady beat of drums builds

in the chamber of nostalgia.

 

Sea-gulls pick on the remnants of regret,

as they sink in the pass of every wave.

Building the agony of having missed

the silent note of togetherness.

 

Silvery moonlight dances off

the lilting rasp o’ 69

as my forgotten desires sits

huddled on the beach

wet,

alone.

 And shivering.
