Windows on the Sea - a collection of poetry.

Flatlining

Part of my life is over forever
and ever will the memories mumble in my thoughts...
I'm caught in the mysteries of what might have been,
I drift in dreams through senseless scenes;
will I never know more than spaces between
bleeding and screaming and aching for you?
But softly, like sunbeams, those spaces break through –
replacing the heart-stopping yearning for you,
the dawn of each day is a doctor, it's true,
shocking the heart till it beats anew.
