It’s the trip of a lifetime, he told me

One I’d surely never forget

I should just pack a bag and be ready

We’ll be flying on his new Lear jet

You can imagine how excited I was

To think, he asked me to fly with him

Although I knew, not where to

I went anyway, all on a whim

We flew around, for hours and hours

I had no idea where we were

In fact, I didn’t know where he was

Funny, how this didn’t occur

I fell for it, hook, line and sinker

Such a cad, he turned out to be

Now I’m jet lagged and feeling jilted

He never boarded the plane, you see

The fruit juice became so angry and fitful

Seems there was no more room, in the crystal

Because the oranges battled, to take their place

But instead, they wound up taking up space

All over the counter, and onto the floor

The fruit juice just couldn’t take anymore

It became so erratic, it had to be distilled

Now it sits in a pitcher, in the fridge, being chilled

Rapid Descent ~ #NaPoWriMo #darkpoetry

Frigid waters enveloped her

Lips, like ice, turned blue

Sinking deeper, drowning

Her final breath, she drew

Eyes slightly open, watching

As she descended, rapidly

Ending all she ever knew

Dissolving slowly, in the sea

She took her life, tempestuous

Like a turbulent hurricane

A tortured soul, free at last

She would never again feel pain

Blended in the Sand ~ #NaPoWriMo #poetry #RomanticTuesday

Your love is like the ocean

An endless sea of soft waves

Flowing over me, caressing

Cooling the fire that burns

Inside of me, I hear the roar

Like the tide, it crashes down

Then, recedes, into the deep

Let me drink of you, taste

The saltiness of your skin

The ebb and flow of desire

It knows no depth, my love

Only that we became one

Two souls united, our tiny grains

Blended, with the sands, sublime
