Best Drown Poems

JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE 
STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE 
WEIGHTED DOWN WITH SADNESS
AS MY SOUL DESCENDS IT'S DIVE
TIRED FROM THE STRUGGLE
SWALLOWING THE PAIN
SINKING TO THE BOTTOM
WILL I FLOAT BACK UP AGAIN?
DO I HAVE  STRENGTH WITHIN ME 
TO FIGHT AGAINST THE TIDES?
I NEED TO WIN THIS BATTLE
TO...

I drown within your most beautiful eyes,
through wonderful visions of precious love.
What visions I shall come to visualised,
come my beloved to Heaven above.
Sapphire eyes do become my paradise,
I now join your dreams, my beautiful dove.

I now swim within your lagoons of blue,
entranced by the...

Your car is not a boat
You can’t float to town
Turn around don’t drown

The inclement weather is a pain
Trying to drive in floods and rain
Don’t lose your life being vain...

In a boat
Rowing around the moat
Of my family’s latest castle

The one with towers and a flag with a tassel
And it really seems to me a lot of hassle
That the drawbridge is up and not down

The water’s very brown
I could drown

Bubbles rose from my mouth
I was underwater, I wanted to shout
Lifeless bodies floated past me
Gutted, I realized that I was in the sea
I struggled to get the seat belt off me
And swam up to the surface where metal and smoke 
Made my lungs burn and...

Thousands of people drowning in their self perception.
Hundreds of people, searching for a place.
Tens of people changing to fit in.
One person, feels alone.

She sits at home and no one even knows,
She’s breaking down, to the ground.
She can’t keep up, she’s so behind.
If you could see...

I just hate to say
How much I feel like a bad cliché.
That faithful girl that would love me forever
Went and left me for another.

Sometimes I’m so mad,
Then I’m feeling everything but glad.
Though she double-crossed me sweetly like a traitor,
Just can’t bring myself to hate her.

When you feel all alone
Like no one's there. 
Reach up toward heaven. 
To the one that cares.
When the world all around you feels like sinking sand.
Well just give it all to Jesus 
Put it right in his hand.
Hold on to His promise as you travel...

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...

i was explaining this at the 
breakfast table

my wife pulled that electric chair face
but i consider
that it is better to 
be adventurous than 
cautious

my son takes another bite
of his jam on toast
and my wife
gives me those
ultraviolet light looks

she is our ozone layer 
preventing
us from ripping...

The water in my chest,
And my eyes, they burn,
Lungs burst for air,
They are losing all their turn.

My eyes see the light,
That swims in the water,
And as I sink,
My lungs burn hotter.

I try to breathe,
Yet only choke,
I scratch for the surface,
Pray that it be broke.

But I...

GOLD AND BLOOD 

Mantis eyes magnetised her sister’s heart
felt its imprisoned glint of gold
willed it to enlarge into a

A red moon greeted me as I arrived at Eilean Donan Castle,
late at dinner time, a heat wave wrecking zest
of our intended peaceful nightly rest.

It was late but I decided on a nocturnal swim.
O blessed water, so calm, so cool, so placid.
Suddenly I heard the...

In our darkest nights and our brightest days, 
emotions fill us like tidal waves. 

They can drag us down and pull us in, 
trying to drown us from within. 

They can raise us up or let us down, 
but if you don't know how to...

In the silence of time
Tomorrow's unknown
Maybe I'll try
Maybe I won't

Dropping my pride 
I've struggled too long 
I feel it inside 
Solemn yet strong

I patiently wait 
Watching the tides
The lapping of waves 
Fighting my mind 

Walking to shore 
I look to the sand 
Wishing for more...
