Charmaine Chircop Poet Free verse

Washed Away At Sea

Ripples once sweet     transformed into large breaking waves

Washing me away         Dragging me down
miles down into the abbyss  of an open ocean.

The zephyr breeze   once gentle and soft
turned and whirled into hurricaine force winds.

The deep blue sea once blissed and still
became a bitter taste of sea-salt tears

Tears ..   Tears  that rolled over  my rose -kissed cheeks

against my chest into my sleep.


Drops filled my mouth choking  each heart-beat

my body immersed   pulling me down

All the way down       All the way down reaching the bottom

Lost far away close to the edge of no return

in sinking feeling of life and man.

Weak   Struggling        tired and weak

with no way out but vacant darkness

Like a wild warrior loosing the battle       I fought so hard    

 Swimming way up both hope and loss

breaking so free into the surface.       I've risen

 risen above wet goose-bumped skin  of murky waters

Thinking of life     Forgetting death

I inhaled both cool mist and air.

Breathing numb breaths in dizzy spells    I cried for help...

Eyes to the sky    facing the moon

I cried again         Somebody  help !

Somebody find me   I lonely pleaded

Somebody warm my failng soul

Somebody love me        Somebody hold  me

Somebody take me to a  safe shore.


Almost forgetting    that everybody including you

Have all  been gone.





Part 2 :


And I'm still here like a small island 

that is not heard and goes unseen

I'm not in waiting              too proud to beg

but as a dreamer     still own  a dream.

I'm still believing  in silver linings

at the stretched - edge of fading tides

I m still  here feeling the serene beauty

that once have captured this love that hides.

Somebody find me       Don't sail away

With longing  arms     Please Come to me

kiss these lips glowing  in  dusky shadows

Be that brave life-guard  who sets me free.

Chris Green October 24, 2016 at 2:29 PM The sea invokes so many images and thoughts, I can picture this and I can feel this cry for help, this desperate need as the waves keep washing over, slowly taking away breaths. So very deeply affecting Charmaine, you certainly do have a way with touching the heart of your readers.

Tim Smith October 22, 2016 at 3:36 PM A very enchanting poem Charma. The zephyr breeze turning to a hurricane...I can feel sadness and lose as you wait to be rescued. But in the end there is hope. I believe in dreams and silver linings too. The waiting is what I don't like. Charmaine Chircop October 22, 2016 at 3:47 PM Thanks for reading Tim..This poem is fiction...Only waves inspired it and the beach...but yes at a point in time.We all pass from moments to be rescued...Thanks for reading.. Tim Smith October 22, 2016 at 3:36 PM Loss not lose...

Paloma P October 22, 2016 at 11:19 AM Reading this, I felt as though I was drowning myself. Like the continued theme throughout and the spaces give it even more impact. Throwing you a life preserver just in case that life-guard (acknowledged the hyphen) doesn't show! Outstanding Charmaine. Charmaine Chircop October 22, 2016 at 3:48 PM Thanks we can always do with a life preserver..this poem is fiction..but once again..one never knows if there comes a time ..We scream..Help..Save.Me...Thanls for reading dear: )
