POEM // sweet like cherry pie
He let me go,
easily.
softly.
The way a flower dies.
- Elle Daviau
This debut book by author Elle Daviau is a collection of impassioned poetry. Daviau's poetry strays on the dark side of love but never lingers there for too long. Her work is intricately laced with both courage and hope in the quest for true love. Daviau's work reflects the inner angst of love which can sometimes be withered by the finality of youth, time, and loss.
You're attracted to the poison...
that kills you.
Elle Daviau
The Shores of Time
The loves we experience
time and time again
how they crash and retreat
with the tide of emotions that run
through us-
bobbing and weaving under the depths,
sometimes leaving marks
and slashes
as the bad ones inevitably roll in.
They'll kiss us with sweet lips,
laced with poison
meant to deceive us
and dilute our minds in false promise.
They lure us in
to capture our hearts
on the tides
of the shores of time.
And this is what they did to me.
The shores of time live deep in all of us.
If you look closely,
it's always there.
