Best Drowning Poems

Drowning in the oppression of darkness, 
adrift in realms of the unseen and unheard,
her mind becomes blank and blind,
plummeting without sound.

Loved ones watch helplessly, unable to reach her,
banging against the walls of her sorrowful obscurity.
Her silent killer holds her tightly,
slowly suffocating her fragile breaths -

Sinking in a sea of Me
I gurgle, choke and bubble
down I go into my depths
into a world of trouble

Immersed in self, I cannot breathe
I'm suffocated so
I writhe and turn uncomfortably
with nowhere else to go

The stifling space inside my brain
gets smaller all the while
until I find...

Lips touch the tip of morning with the awakening
             of thine eyes,
           accompanied 
         ...

stop pretending you care, you never loved me
but your eyes filled with bliss my every day
i know i'm not her, i'm not trying to be
all my hopes of acceptance will fade away

polite words of love do me harm
stop saying things you dont believe
i could cover...

I'm a virgin. 
 Yet I'm a peer educator 
  I teach people about sex
    and how to put on the condom.
    sometimes the irony does bother me
 There's an endless supply of condoms

Tell me all about her
Is she beautiful?
Is she simple in her complex way?
Is she all you want and need?
Is she your everything?
Tell me is she beautiful?

Is she that pretty picture in your mind?
The one with whom you spend your time?
I bet she’s perfect
Is she the...

We are all in the same boat
Just trying to stay afloat
Not drowning under the waves
That ripple and grow more each day
Life jackets can help us bounce
But something comes along to pounce
Dragging us down to the bottom
There's only so much we can fathom
Until we can't catch...

Our rising water's
                flooding emotion
                      gasping ecstasy...

When life feels heavy and hard to bear,
And you're drowning in feelings of despair,
Remember that storms don't last forever,
And the sun will shine again, whenever.

Though the road may be rough and tough to tread,
And it feels like joy and hope have all but fled,
Hold on...

The moment I met him-   I was smitten,
    soon, I was drowning in his lust;
with desire and love I was bitten and lost,
his smooth, silky voice and words made me trust him.
I became a slave to his hands and lips;

Where are we heading 
Human nature helplessly wondering 
Mother Nature hopefully warning..

A submerged universe
By a torrent of floods curse
What is coming hope not worse..

A world of less and less meaning 
For all those on the surface floating 
Solid grounds nolonger touching..

To what is occurring inside...

DROWNING
By Kevin Robey
June 21, 2013

I’ve got this bad disease
That haunts my daily dreams
No dispose of the rage inside
Flash the smile of my disguise

Pretend you’ve figured it out
Tell them you don’t have a doubt
Or show them your demon wings
And hear their warning bells ring

One day they’ll...

the moment we met I was smitten
and soon I was drowning in lust 
and in passion I was bitten and lost
for his silky voice and words filled me with trust
and I did not realize I was becoming a slave
yes, a slave to his caressing...

Migrants on the move from violence
their only possession
breath-space on a smuggler’s boat
secured with back-bent harvests 
in pretzel-bent systems
weight of crates of strawberries 
hoisted on hell-bent backs
just trying to reach Spanish-shores’-east 
from Moroccan beach with a camel-mystique
—the seaway west of Africa 
a rags-wearing-flotsam grave

migrants on the...

Sometimes I think
I would love you more
if I was still drinking.
And then I decipher the code:
I would love you more
if I still loved myself less....
