Woodbine Beach
I wrote this when I was heartbroken
I love this view of the beach.
The horizon is where the earth meets The Heavens and The Underworld.
I have been on this bench with you before.
Some believe that when our time on earth ends,
Some will rise to The Heavens,
But some will sink to The Underworld.
I hoped to drown in the abyss before I met you.
I felt too exhausted to continue treading the waters.
I thought that you brought me back to life.
I believed that there was a meaning to our lives.
The sunlight illuminates the clouds,
But the clouds pour water on our heads.
You illuminated my life for a time,
Then the rain came pouring down.
The rain made you so blue, as well.
You are ill, and you need more than I can give.
If I could make your pain go away, I would.
As quickly as my beating heart.
I just don't think I can.
Can you save yourself?

My third eye is open. I have a white aura. I see things sometimes (I can see angels and demons).
I write poems because I feel my feelings very deeply.
