I  have dreamt of creation
of how oceans began
they were pools of broken spirits
rippled by the tears of man

They came from girls like me
Always trying for "perfection"
but waters formed from salty tears
showed pain in their reflection

They came from the gothic girl
the valedictorian, the nerds
they came from you top cheerleader
they came from pain, from hurt, from words

They came from the smartest girl
From that girl who was never seen
They came from the beautiful girl
Icy tears from the Ice queen

These tears from different girls
salty waters from hurting eyes
have filled the world with water
seeping out through souls demise

Exeryone makes mistake, learn from them and move on, because tomorrow we'll make more...

I give a whole new meaning to the word 'sad.'

Torn are her limbs
By quiet hands that
Tug life(color) out of her.
Gnawing edges round
Into a broken(satisfying)
Shadow

I thought this was a very fine poem. The meter was good, and the idea is quite original. I've never thought of how oceans might be created; to me, they were always there, but you've added some creativity to the forum, and so I thank you for that. -smile-

You've taken something from reality and blended it in with something more surreal (though oceans aren't exactly surreal, they are often used in surrealism) making this poem seem somewhere inbetween two worlds. Very nice. -smiles-

I hope to read more from you. This is a great piece!

Honestly, I can't put it much better. A very deep, honest, and quite vivid piece. Nice pace, nice rythm. Basically, well done!

Wow, not only is the title captivating...but the poem is great to match!

This is deep beyond normal conception...I really enjoyed this! (Forgive me for my lame choice of words)

Beautiful imagery here...I loved it! I didn't have to think very hard, Lol. It just...showed itself to me! Thanks for posting!

Others are too in love with the sound of their own voice to speak the truth...
