Broken Sandcastles

The white water chill ascends

Where the fog rolls to transcend

A time of how I began

Aspirations now descend

I believed inside of me

There is a dream to always be

Something more than what you see

Through the Oleander breeze

The ocean tide erodes away

Leaving behind smiles of dismay

Abandoned lies amass betrayed

Depths of hunger to cascade

Broken promises beyond repair

Shattered faith remain declared

Seagulls phrase of despair

Song of minor simple prayers

His control and life’s demands

The full moon’s soul imprisoned in sand

Stars of brilliance to withstand

My freedom lost within his hands
