Thais Serenity Poet Free verse

The Queen of the Drowned I

Sinking down into the Atlantic’s depths,
I watch dark bodies drown.
Wails transform into bubbles,
Salty water suffocating lungs.
Seawater or tears, it could be either one.
These tossed bodies are mine to claim.
My subjects, my people, the discarded.
They can not survive within the ocean,
Thus they are to drown.
Here they are thrown over a ship’s side.
Since no one wants them, they’ll be mine,
For I am the Queen of the Drowned.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart August 9, 2020 at 7:14 AM I really like this. I heard somewhere that far more people have have been lost at sea than buried on land. A that being said, the deeper meaning in this has not been lost on me. Beautiful write. xomo Thais Serenity August 9, 2020 at 3:07 PM Thank you, for your words. The sea has always held a disturbing number of ghost and I thought about who could possibly be the undertaker of them.
