Undercurrent of Melancholy

sudden tears erode the beach in his eyes. swift vortex, of addiction and shame, grave undertow. eyes and taut lips, precariously lift illusory light, but truth hails ebon of a shark. necessary aloneness harbors pain, sailing on and on, anchor never drops, digs in deep. 11/8/2019 Pick A Title, Vol 11 - Kimo(3 Stanzas) - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh Title chosen: #4 UNDERCURRENT OF MELANCHOLY

Your poetry is exquisite especially this one Kim. Loved this part: " but truth hails ebon of a shark. "

Really cool my friend and that is exactly how it feels. Underwater, being pulled by an angry uncaring tide, with no life preserver to keep you afloat. I really liked this. Best wishes in the contest
