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.
