The Shores of Time: A Book of Poetry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781943337804)

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.

"Poetry allows the infatuations and torments of the soul

to rise to the surface from deep waters." - Elle Daviau
