Ocean Of Tears

0 posted 2003-07-20 02:50 PM


I hear a silent whisper over the lake,
Inviting my soul to return,
Disembark to the life I once lived,
Drained from each layer of pain,
Thickening each time I blink,
Unclaimed and alone, you see,
Unable to paint a smile across my face,
Scarlet tears form within my heart,
Disjoining a lethal scar,
Drawing death upon my faith.

Good job Jess. I liked the words you used in this one.

The first line captured me and didn't let go untill the end. I loved this piece..the imagery, the word choice, the meaning...sigh..It was all wonderful and hauntingly beautiful

More peachesNcream, and very expresive. I can't help but picture a swamp and something waiting to envelop you. Dark yet tempting and maybe, just maybe... peaceful.

Wow!  This was amazing, definately one very, very, very good write.
I loved the subjectiveness that leaves it totally open to impartial interpretation...the imagery was great although it was more of a concieved image as opposed to a percieved one.

Well done!
