claudiogchavez submitted a contest entry to Write A Poem About Where And When You Feel Most At Peace 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Waves on the Beach
Rudimentary – sedimentary.
Rocks stab at my instep
Harsher than reality
I hardly felt it’s indent –
Something there distracted me.And so it is in staggered thoughts
I’ve perceived the imperceptibleFleeing from me just so fast I caught it in a blur.
I see it in the daydreams,
the ones revolving her.We spoke some folly years ago.
About our favorite place.
I recall all her expressions,
But can’t remember face.For maybe it was shame
That kept me from her grace
Now every time I think of her
I think of waves and spaceI think aloud and pace.
I write it on a page.
Still nothing can return me to
those 16 years of ageThe source of all my pain
The moment let escape
I hadn’t strength to tell her
Because I thought I’d wait.From then, she washed away
Just as her favorite place.
The only time I feel at peace
is when I feel her waves.Voting is closed
