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
