Bikini in the rain

Self-destructive, crazy bitch,
broke it before it even began.
When the sun shines she puts up
an umbrella, and wears her
bikini in the rain.
She can't be happy, too cynical,
broken, damaged.
It just won't work, best ruin all
that is good before it has a
chance to break her heart again.
Test it again and again,
when it breaks she can go
“I told you so” but it still
won't make her happy.

The River

The river is quiet,
flowing without making
much more than a ripple,
yet strong enough
to kill man and beast.
Such magnificence
hides so much below
the surface, secrets,
of a thousand years
anger and life.
Oh to be embraced by
such raw power,
but what a cold, hard,
and unforgiving lover.
Almost like you,
but softer.
