Solitude Drowning in this pool of confusion the roar of the water hides my cry. No one can hear my screams. I see you just with in my reach but you do not see me, you do not hear me, you can not reach me. Like you use to. Stuck in the whirl of water Spinning around helplessly I struggle to stay a float. In this endless sea of deception waves try to smother me, to take my breath away, to end my loneliness, They engulf me. Tired from the fight my energy all exhausted. I descending into darkness. My will no longer my own, I surrender to the quietness, sinking further away, I give in to the urge, of total solitude. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 6-11-00 |

This is saddness and desperation to the max. Hope you are ok? And this is just a venting type piece? Honey the imagery was great here, good work ![]() I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

I love the comparison of drowning in the ocean and drowning in life. Very effective! But I hope not based on reality, as Isis already said! Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |

Thanks for your replies. It does have a bit to do with my current situation. If you read I still love you, in open 7 you would get the idea of what I am feeling. Sad, yes, tired, yes, but not to worry my friends this will pass for I really thirst for life. -------------- You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart Then people are gonna treat you better You're gonna find, yes you will That your beautiful as you feel.~~~ Carol King |

I don't really know what to say except I know this pain, and hope that in time your wounds heal. hang in there. a powerful poem, you portrayed the emotions perfectly. ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. manic street preachers "Culture Alienation Borebom and Despair" "I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing" -faster MSP "And you see, I kind of shiver to conformity Did you see, the way I cower to authority, you see And my life, it's a series of compromises anyway It's a sham, and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see" six by Paul Draper. ----- |
