Best Sinking Poems

Like falling into stillness - like stars that make no sound,

I’m falling into ocean; there’s nothing I can do,

and ever since a person’s birth, there is no solid ground.

Tears have made this ocean, and with all humanity,

I’m foundering while drowning, sinking into sea.

Time, the endless...

Bill's snowman was missing a snout
For carrots in shops had run out.
A sausage sufficed
But as it de-iced
Its purpose was cast into doubt!

Murky sea this day as she wades chest deep
Battling strong waves with every step
No other swimmers, no lifeguards, no sun
Nary a gull on the beach so windswept

Solitude is her preference, she floats
Closes her eyes, attempts to clear her head
She’s tossed about, but opts to remain
She’d...

Sinking into a True Despair
 
It’s like trying to shoot a monstrous ghost that you can’t ever see,
and, at the same time, this applies when one wants to kill a rumor,
and where everything is just like water running off a duck’s back,
and when you can’t...

Entangled in a dream, reality is so far away.
Hiding in the closet, wanting not to stay. 

What surrounds me, no one knows.
This road I’m traveling, I yes, I chose.

Spinning around me are the problems I face.
Which way shall I go? I can’t find my place.

Growing...

concrete silently 
weeping softly clouded rain
     pouring out its heart
Crying  out its anger to

“minus identity .  . who am I?” - Unseeking Seeker

I am a boat not anchored to the shore.
The waves keep crashing me. They’re coming fast
and very hard.  I hear the ocean’s roar.
My stern and bow are breaking. They can’t last.
My hull is sinking....

A sip of wine from a heart-shaped glass,
This tempting intoxicating pleasure
Is crimson like your blood,
Cheering like the wind
Of evanescent changes, 
And so I'm giving in.

Droplets of crimson love
Ruin sandy castles fast,
Making this sand the bottom
Of some new sea,
Linking our parallel worlds,
Drowning old ways and turns,
Only...

Subdued sorrow
seeps from swollen eyes,
and severed sobs 
stab into the surrounding
silence.
I'm suffocating in a sea
of separation,
struggling to stay
afloat but I'm 
sinking fast.
Somebody save me
before it swallows
me whole....

Thus, came to an end,
both the depth of my breath,
and our happy sail,
on the waves of the pacific.

The iceberg pierced the giant,
sucked us,
of our joy and dreams,
families deserted and orphans born.

To those chilling waves,
we froze,
with jaws wide apart,
and our teeth went crystal.

Our tears went unnoticed,
superior...

The second house this year to go under in Atlantic City.
This is a scenario that does not look too pretty.
A once venerable establishment will soon be history.
The future of gaming is now obscured with doubt.
In the big crap game of business, they have just sevened-out.
We...

Bowing to the mighty ocean 
Relentless is her pull,
Into the blue depths
'Til she's good and full

Ice took it's first shot
As steady we ran right in,
Sailing along so freely
As a whale on his fin

Crashing, just scraping by
Then onto a dead stop,
I write this letter now
While I...
