Love's my drowning troubles

Contributed by In_a_While on Thursday, 2nd June 2005 @ 12:27:04 PM in AEST
Topic: LostLove



i keep sinking in this lake
all black and blue is love
no breath is left to take
no brush to paint the blood
i kick and scream the bubbles
i'm not trying to inhale
because love's my drowning troubles
oh this love i'd like to bail...

so i swim to darker bays
where i can be the depth
floating among the days
dying love's a final breath
so i thrash towards her light
kicking to be the free
the bird that flaps in flight
is love becoming me?

Wow this poem has a real haunting quality to it...Beautiful in its ruggedness, yet dark...
Well spoken.

Things have been busy over here in Iraq so I don’t have much time to read or comment so I say sorry DW. I’m glad to see your writing strong with no writers block. This was a good write of lost love and it has your great style to it. Another well written write filled with deep emotions. Take care my friend and keep your head up….Steve

I like the flow of this poem, and the use of the drowning metaphor. Sometimes with love we are in over our heads.....sorry, I couldn't resist the pun. :)


Well done

Will
