Daddy's girl

Can I catch the light?Striated pine needles, singing of pure voicesswathes of distant childhoodsand strewn on raw beaches.Something missing in this bright blue gem of seayour hand across the darknessfather, brother, lost for ever.Yes I kissed you as you passed intothese foreign well known placeswhere I torch the tide that sweeps your ashes:cold blue, clean bluethe innocence of timequiet revolutionsgrief curled in crimsom sunsetbreath I can't forget curling somatic sleepthis spirit striving to be human.Missed moments spun in sticky webpride, principal,empty words that ripped the promise,the life you lost.Touch the sand for youstroke my lover's side for youcry the vanished tearssilent scream searching always for the truth.Clear cut obsessionmasking the here and now with past mistakes,till I forget again to breatheand we coelesce.
