harbor - Morgan Scott

butterflies overflow the abdomen

in synchrony-

marching toward an endeavor,

from which one could never return.

on the contrary,

she was willing to explore,

any notion of rebuilding honor.

summoning the banshee,

concern is at once declared.

repeating-

stay away from the corrupt.

having absolutely no idea,

that she was an avid thrill-seeker.

this flared the fire within,

magnetism formed electricity;

binding the once-distant strangers together-

at once, they must coexist as secret lovers.

realizing that this is not how she desired her transformation to play out.

restricted within the walls of her new home;

abandoned and sobbing in solitude,

intoxicated with fabricated glee and joy.

at once, the skipper declared-

drop the anchor!
