Suicidal Sillouette
i'd drifted suddenly
off the banks of reality
sinking deeply into calmness
resting on the coastal shores
withered so catering
to a bright beacon allure
coming from high steeples
and chanting light houses
the infamous waves
calling my name
as i lingered solely
on the rough tides
why i'd gestured
nothingness while darkness
traumatic events plagued
my wretched soul
i'd soon forget life's
sweet nectar of meaningful gifts
how i soon began
to blend with the earths
own needs separating bodies
of oceans gathering
sources of energies
creeping back over
the sandy beaches
leaving craters throughout
hidden cavities on stone surfaces
mental malice had finally
become a shattered memory
leaving my flesh dangling
out to sea drowning
within my own tears
