Beaches in Black

My words are your weapons. Every thought turned to speech. Every man becomes a spectator and all my whispers are screams. Waist deep in fresh water with no where to run. Eyes filled with salt water, skin charred in the sun .

Words pour from mouths like tea from a kettle. Black ink on paper we've lost sight of the quill. With the lack of a feather, dye flows on down stream. A variety of colors emerge some like shades in a dream.

Now we wait for the those verbs and nouns to take shape. We comfort one another with apologies and admittance of mistakes.

Enjoyed the read, you have some great word phrases here. You do yourself an injustice by not giving this piece a title ... it is deserving of a title, 10 from me, be well k

Thanks Unfortunately I am yet to find a title that I am satisfied with. Eventually I may name.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
