They say the heart is like the ocean With violent storms that lurk within, Where one can suffocate by waters And wait for death to set in. The ocean appeals to many Calling with its soothing song, With its peaceful outward appearance Souls flock to its joyful throng. But take one step into the water And know the oceans real intent, As rapid scenes flash before your eyes Of how your life was spent. Beneath the crystal water Rages a violent, viscious tide, Which turns and thrashes incessantly A storm that wont subside. The current grabs a hold of you And starts to drag you down, You then are faced with a choice Will you live, or will you drown? You never cry for help So noone ever knows your need, As you struggle to fight alone The ocean pulls at a faster speed. It pulls you further and further You're heart filled with despair, You try your best to stay a float Get another breath of air. However you start growing weak You can't it handle anymore, As you decide to give up the fight You slowly sink to the ocean floor. They say the heart is like the ocean With violent storms that lurk within, Where one can suffocate by waters For you death has now set in. You gave it up so quickly Life hadn't yet begun to start, But the storm was just too much for you The storm inside your heart. ~For AAron Miller 5/10/86 to 9/15/03 "you can't gain anything , until you lose something" |

Thank you both for the comments =) i'm glad you enjoyed it! As for the haunting stanza, i like to try to make people ponder things after they read my poetry. It doesn't always work out that way but i'm glad this one stuck =). "you can't gain anything , until you lose something" |
