Catch my eye again
Misery and hope
lumped together
I swore I’d curse
your presence,
but sprinkles
fall softly on
this barren ground
The throbs of my soul
shake the earth
as misery cracks
the land.
The rays of your sun
reach out to me
wrapping me in warmth
and unfreezing my limbs
I close my eyes
basking in the
rain drops, which
sizzle on my skin
I am caught up
once again,
but I am not trapped
the escape hatch
is open, I smile
let hope drench me
and feel the sting
of your rays
you are breathtaking
and beautiful
and so far out of my reach.
Konner Sauve grew up in the small hop town of Moxee, Washington, and eventually found his way to the Monterey Bay Area as an English teacher. When he's not teaching, spending time with family or friends, or fulfilling his uncle duties, you can usually find him walking the shores of the Monterey Bay coast and exploring the San Francisco Bay. More often than not, he will have a coffee or tea in hand.
