A Heart In The Sand
By Delrondu | Writing24 Feb 2008
a heart in the sand
swallowed by the tide
is the story of us
a once upon a time
thoughts carved in stone
in a place of innocence
casually on the surface
as if time had no relevance
the horizon that separates
sky and earth two opposite pages
a sudden drop heavy like a bomb
a blink that turned a thousand ages
what have i become today
my past hangs loose and uncertain
hesitation in the slender threads
you just might pull me up once again
i can hear a distinct echo
vacationing in a departure hall
getting confused in transition
destination still unknown
leave your footprints here
quiet in the crashing waves
a trace of what might have been
a part of me you stole away
a heart in the sand
you drew it with such might
it is the story of us
in a once upon a very long time
