Conquest

MissDefined

 

Like a tide of hopelessness which waxes and wanes with the magnetism of life

Black and grey waves of frustration and despair churn in a sea

Pounding this island with their frothy crests of defeat

The rip tides of vexation laying bare the weathered cliffs of the heart 

How much longer will this cycle continue?

How much longer will the sun hide and the mist take over?

Fair weather, show your face, show your beacon of optimism

Your absence has turned this perfectly imperfect paradise

this place of serene solitude and contentment

this place of loveliness and confidence

these soft bright shores stripped   

To naked lifeless slopes, suspended in deep murky cold waters

This conquest by the sea.

    How much longer will this cycle continue you ask. For as long as you keep letting it. Rip tides of vexation.

    good way to describe it. I've always felt that the ocean waves are mysterious.
