thunderous waves never plundered my spirits neither hurricane ravaged my vigour dusk never dawned encumbrance for darkness shrouded my existence unscathed by the disparaging world I was wounded only one time but contusions spurn to heal I’ve been in pain ever since… when your eyes probed mine indicting me of betrayal that moment… that moment stagnated in time that moment you sabotaged my love that moment our hearts estranged that moment I lost myself I’ve been in pain ever since…

My Feelings My Freedom 
The link between waves and emotions fascinates me – the sea is a much used metaphor, which never loses its impact, with poets finding new ways to express it. and here you write ‘ thunderous waves never plundered my spirits’ – an original way to convey the emptiness of pain.

Sea has always been my favourite. No matter how many times I’ve written about it, I still find it refreshing and deep as the sea itself. I am glad you could relate to it. Thanks Kim.

So sad to linger in the pain, eloquently expressed. Time to consider the lessons learned, close the chapter, and move on.

I love the use of the sea and waves. I’ve been in pain ever since. I hope its just a poem and not your reality. Masterfully done.
