Tactical

written by: ErosVerse

@ErosVerse

How do I tender
My resignation
And have you
Of all people
Believe you could
Ever even think
To entertain
The idea of
Any kind of victory

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

A poem for dreamers who need never give in to the sound of negativity within and without themselves.

I love the wings poetry gave to me.
It is music, it is light, it is wisdom, it is sight.
It is beauty, it is intrinsic to my life.

Shadows of New York by Francisco Bravo Cabrera

One day I sat and listened to the choirs of Babel.
It took me back to when I painted shadows in New York
which cast skyscrapers high above your garden.
And I wondered if an island, in the seas of nowhere,
would have served as shelter if our ship should sink.

Did a siren with her song lead you so far away from home,
and has that made you forget me?
Have you removed the old tattoos?
Did you forget the sailing trips?
Was it because Manhattan’s winds destroyed your jib?...
