Best Deep End Poems

I am whatever you say I am 
currently I'm the eyes of the world
it's what they discovered when
daddy tied a pork chop around my neck just to get the dog to play with me
first time I menstruated, mommy said I would bleed to death,
"hemorrhage" she...

Every stroke takes you farther away,
panic sets in,
your body, starts to tremble,
with fear,
every stroke takes you farther away,
to the deep end, away from safety,
the shallow end kind of safety,
the feet on ground,
kind of safety,
the, my family is all here,
kind of safety,
the I won't drown here,
kind...

“Concrete Hearts, the Deep End Keys and the Miniaturist's Poetry of Sleep”

Following the Babel paths,
where footprints progress
like rough-hewn braille,
temptation shows itself well deep
to be turned and touched,
substantially labyrinth

The Open 
is lead  
further in, and 
The Uninviting 
untouched,

concrete hearts too cool to be immersed 
in...

Silent are the lambs while screaming are the lions
Howling are the wolves while hiding are the rabbits
Soul static...is pumping through your pounding pulse
Broke down and broke out like lunatics on the loose
Your breathing it stops now slowly you choke
Hope's now hanging from a hangmans rope
As...

The waters cold and unforgiving here
I breathe nothing but a deluge of fear
	'Tis a shame to blame
	The end of my rising fame
On tracked veins drowning my career

Granny has found a new trend
 With unseen waves to contend
 Ironing board skurfing
  And living room surfing
 Granny's gone off the deep end!

Staring at the blank walls
You think of the what ifs
The what it could be,
The why it happened

You’re stuck
Stuck in a battle of the past
Begging for peace
Begging for a way out

Staring into the distance
You make yourself distant
Having feelings of failure
Feelings of guilt

Bringing thoughts to give up
Hoping...

Dark Ages at The Deep End  ( For Alex )



What does our society teach our children
Churn them out as fodder
For the cultural use of consumerism

The empty promises of success
And the great grand promise of never ending wealth
Plies them with ever needful obsessions

Scientific, mathematical, technology
Tested,...

He stepped into the deep end
Lost control of his own free will
Lost the ability to see, feel and smell the sweet roses
That lay on the ground by the house that is now falling apart
Where there used to be children, happiness, courage
Where there used to be...

I went and jumped in the deep end again
Sorry to lose myself 
My only friend
Could you have tried any harder to stop me?
Undoubtfully, I’m the roaring sea
And cold use a bit of peace.
Maybe a little sleep might put me back up on my feet
Guard you’re...

So I guess Im at the deep end,
I said the wrong things,
So I will end up alone,
Again,
Cold,
Stranded,
I am,
But there's is nothings to worry about,
Since Im a guy,
Its easy to move on,
Without you....

Shallow mountains are beneath me
Shadow valleys weigh me down, baby
Lift me up from gravity's waterfalls
Hear me out when I give you my calls 

I’m falling, spiraling and soaring
In the deep end, in the deep end 
I’m free-falling, colliding and exploring
Into the deep end, the deep...

When I am pulled underneath
When shadows call forth
Where do I go?

I can’t catch my breath
As I feel the current
slip me further to the end.
Like the descending flicker of a candle wick
Darkness sinks in
Branding my soul
as blackness burns beneath....

At the deep end of the pool
he prefers this exercise -
on bench he removes his foot
and unties his shoe...
