I Stop The Waves Poem by Mark Heathcote

I Stop The Waves



I shut my eyes; I stop the waves
I ruled over the moon and the earth
Dark spaces in between the tree staves
I turn my back on time, I called your name
I count the stars till I go quietly insane
The sunset is like flung afterbirth.

I called your name then I'm drowning
Then I'm a Thunderbird above a roving cloud
Who comes to stir the tired wind?
I put down talons in the wolf's blooded mane.
And flutter like a paper butterfly
Near to your beating bleeding heart.

It's now I discover the hour of the dark
The hail of the falling-flowers dew without you
It's now I discover-the-pain of living without you
It's now I descend opening my battened down eyes
And still, pretend I'm still with you
Under this new, full moon.
