BEACHED

She left him like a boat

when the tide has gone out,

sandbank hours, drowned hope.

Stole his dreams to distant sea

and lost them in the depths

but up there in obsidian sky

the universe was concealed

behind a curtain of blindness,

silver stars he couldn't see.

He just couldn't see.

Thanks Chloe

I wasn't sure about this poem - if people would really get anything from it. Your positive response has given me the signal it probably will be okay to submit somewhere. Look forward to reading more of your stuff.
