Calamity’s Embrace

Sharona Reeves

Free Verse
Bleeding heart
    heat wave of emotion
mute from the pain
    memories in motion

desolate
  forsaken
gullible
  mistaken

      whispers
      never
      heard

silent tears
        vision blurred
decisions unsure
        falling apart

calamity chauffeured
