New Beginnings

There, heat suffocates my nostrils when

I embrace your body with my arms,

Holding you close to my battered heart hoping

You won't leave my soul that’s

Torn and ripped with my bare

Naked chest standing still as

The hairs point out and I remember

The sharp claws screeching open the flesh that

Stood exposed and vulnerable to her

To him to her to him and to her.

Abandoned like dust shriveling in

The storm approaching me.

The winds blow stronger than the sound

Of the silent cries echoing through the chambers

Held stationary to confine the happiness

within your love
