LADY ON THE ROCKS

LADY ON THE ROCKS

Vashon Island

waves were small but mighty

against the wind

of late evening the Stars quivered

and Uli sat down by the rocks

crying

her eyes out

and disappointed in love.

I always followed her

like a puppy

that just bit a bit too hard.

She would hide in the dark

but I would

always find her and sit with her.

She was

as magnificent a s a mermaid

with the sea at her feet

my focus

and resolve was so disjointed

she hoped

I would come around.

Kids were always on our mind

she had a Son

and I a Son and a Daughter

and we always missed them.

There were times

I thought

she would cash her chips in, and

finally give up on loving me, but

something always

kept her going and believing in me.

So much fitter

than I she would lead the way

on the trail

or just plain air walking.

Suffering with her own ills

she managed

to always make me first, and

this is why

I am writing about her now.

She

will always be the lady on the rocks

waiting for her heart to catch up

and dispel

the rage I always put her in.

She is a series of snapshots

that will live inside my head forever.

From the bedroom

to the struggles

of our existence together

she is the love of my life.

I bloom everyday with her

and she digs

into my earth for her survival.

Tin Souls we are.

Twin Souls

with the Lady on the Rocks.
