Best Submerged Poems

Shimmering silhouettes haunt.

Shadow stands still, 
observing his soul drift towards 
the tree of melancholy.

Its morbid image stands silent,
but screams inside the mind.

I could write a million pensive poems,
yet the pen could never express,
how emotions remain unexplained,
because suppressed silent theories
and words left unspoken mean 
regretful raindrops...

Submerged in thought, my mind flows. 

I'm a majestic river 

with all it's curves and bends

running over rocks  'round obstructions

gathering strength and speed.

Above I catch a glimpse of the sun

shimmering off the eye of young cygnet

so white and pure without commitment

calm, loving and carefree

looking...

Sickle moon gray above the waves
The quiet directionless wind 
On the earth, and in the sky above 
A veil is drawn, cutting into dark spots 
Slowly round and round,  
Murals are etched into the sand  
The statue waits with eyes unblinking 
Silent wonder,...

I was always disrespected,
 Treated as optional person.
 I was ignored many a times,
 Betrayed a lot as if I was enemy.
 No one feeled my absence, rather they celebrated.
 If I go, no one called me back.
 No one asked me for a gift.

Missing  the Ocean of my Dreams
 
Got hooked on the Ephemeral Enigma...
 
Created was my own Universe in a man-made container
 
...Round but, Oh!... so Narrow...
 
My sooner or later corpse will become blue.
 
Ocean Blue???
 
or Black and blue...???
 
I rinse my brain...

Once Submerged Beneath The Dark, Accursed Sea

Darkened winds beyond the long and hidden veil,
Rising sea its calm repose then casts away,
From some distance away, moaning church bell
Calling faithful and sinners, come lets pray
Tho' Fate with its power cries more in store
Here I stood, stoutly battling...

Of all the thoughts
man's mind was
equipped to have:

the envious
the murderous
the suicidal
the joyous
the inexplicable

none come quite as dangerous as the
thoughts he gets in the shower. 

they make reality drizzle
on his cold feet
and wet his hair
with possibility

as loneliness reeks 
fresh through 
shampoo bottles

these thoughts they
put him back...

Don't wake me up with whispers devastating Soul
Eyelids? Two petals of withered, love-thirsty rose
I dance in white and black with fins in Paradise
 Ephemeral Self defending Purity of nameless cloud...

Don't trace my steps contouring our Dark horizons 
HE watched through branches when we played “Sunset”
I...

SUBMERGED IN FEMININESSENCE

e valued price of
precious key
unchaining doors imagined locks 
that set free


a girl is born
the stage is set
manoeuvring moves
that control and direct

discerning a world
through perceptive eyes
instinctively she knows
all truth from lies

then
we fail to….

RECLAIM OUR
LUMINESCENSE 
FEMININESSENCE

Sounds creep into my ear, sounds that have wandered 
over these valleys, mounts and plains, once debased by ruined man,
sounds that creep from the crevices of these wrecks, they have wandered-
over time and seasons, under the sky, now painted cyan.

They tell me of mortal spoils,
how...

A hidden protected love which will surface now and than. Submerged into the 
deepest waters of the ocean floor. Why it is so still? Like an ocean plant frozen in 
place. Could it be devoured? Only by yourself. No one else can harm this submerged...

the old sea-pool churns out fun
  frantic heads flick side to side, limbs flashing, thrashing
  some are slicing, cutting through
  elegant submariners chased by water-wake
  here is one of distinction!
  stylistic splasher, appendages pummelling
  plunge under, submerged from sight

I was about almost four
Did not yet know how to swim
I was playing by the pool
Unsupervised, I fell in

I'm sure I fought screaming
To stay atop of the surface 
Splashing hectic and fast
No one close to have heard it

Knowing the fighter I am
With no memory of...

Toes dip in
to the deep water below.
I can’t move to get out.
Inch by inch
slowly sinking,
I raise my eyes to the sky.
My chest feels tight
I try to steady my breath,
Fearful of the surrounding solace.
I am still, unmoving.
It keeps coming.
Cold and unfeeling.
Lifeless without peace,
my head under water.
I...

I don't know 
what I'm doing.
Going through 
the motions
I'm sinking
in your ocean
drowning
my soul pushed
and pulled apart
I want to tell you 
how I feel but I 
don't know
where to start.
God knows I could 
look at you all day
until the waters 
rise above and I'm 
totally submerged
in...
