Site Merge

Good evening, or morning, or afternoon, depending on when you've stumbled across this page. Today is January 23, 2023, and I have slowly begun the process of merging these poems onto my new author website. I will no longer be adding any new content to this blog, so if you want to see more of my writing, check out my website where you can find all of my links and up-to-date information: https://bisabelwrites.com

The Crane

 

The weight of the world

Like boulders immovable 

Holding you pinned

Frozen in place

Bone-crushing ache

Asking why between shouts

Of “fight your own battles”

As if lifting a shield and

Brandishing a sword

Didn’t require empty hands

When all you needed was 

Someone to help you lift

Relationships last for numerous reasons

Even those built on hollow foundations

Survive through feats of desperation

Afraid to let go and watch it all 

Just slip away into the tides downfall

Amidst cheers and jeers the siren call

Thoughts of love washed away

hiding evidence of the fray

In platitudes spiteful looks betray

Wishing for respite while waiting for the end

Calling secret meetings with a special “friend”

Exhausted from the endless game of pretend
