Poem: "The Pages Torn"

"The Pages Torn"

The stones are no place
dawn has been exiled
by sultry dark
as the sky watches
in agony

The silence pervades
tiny corners of my mind
as I close my eyes
these hands reach out
to hold onto
what's left of you and I

These words
are all that remain behind
old pages torn
stained with tears and regret

The beauty that was once shared
between us is as distant a memory
as the tides that crash and die against
the bleeding shore
at final light.
