Best Underwater Poems

Emphysema is like 
living underwater,
Surrounded by an ocean
of air,
Which just can't get
where it needs to be
Even if you lie quietly
In your home, your lair

You wake up gasping
As if you ran
Up three flights of stairs
And there are many moments
When you have terrible scares

It's uncurable
It's progressive
It's fatal,
And...

Looking at his house
He sees nothing special
A pile of wood and sheetrock 
Bigger than others
But he owes more than it’s worth
His house is underwater
A term he doesn’t understand
In real speak the house belongs to the Bank
To the brokers and the lawyers.

Wanting a piece of the...

Im under water 
and it feels like a slaughter 
the killing of my precious air 
day dreaming that someones there 
Hoping and praying for anyone 
To come around and be the one 
to rescue me, but I am alone 
My soul took off from my...

Immerse me Lord beneath the salty sea
send me bubbles of love that sparkle blue
Shoot me to the top aqua pure and free
As I plunge so vulnerable deep viewed
the channels of life's paths I do not flee
whimpering in distress bottomward brewed
while evil oozes in a whisper...

There is going to be a jump,

the only one that could thump-
in this room of bloom...

What are you doing sitting when you could be a standing ox?

Are they out on patrol as you wann the metal into your soul?

Dive deeply hard Sims-
they made you corrupt,

these...

“UNDERWATER CONTOURS”

Curves and contours testify
The mirror never tells a lie
Bathroom scale the confirmation
Body toning contemplation

Sub-aqua training fitness enhances
Submerged serenity with sparkling nuances
Gliding fulfilment and dissociation
Flooding the senses-- underwater salvation

Upward blue curves denting the side
  Stark white lines indicate and divide
Soft, silky, satin water caressing...

Vibrant coral reefs,
Blossom all over the sea:
Flowers of the deep....

Everything is tinged with blue
I could stay here forever
Admiring the bubbles
The beauty
The feel of the water on my skin
I love being underwater
As soon as my head dips under the surface
All my cares dissolve
As if they are absorbed into the water
My hair floats around me
And to...

I've got this listing, sinking feeling
that I owed most of my life to my bank.
Hands in the air, reaching for debt ceiling,
yet another fine mess, with no one to thank.

Guns all put down, the pen reigns mightier
can't fight the bank, let alone hit myself.
Contracts contracted,...

Ponce DeLeon
kept pressing on
for the waters that made time stand still.
But he found no flow
and for all we know,
that fountain flows under a landfill....

Fear trickled down her spine
as the razor blade appeared.
"Try it." they said,
"It'll make all the bad things disappear."
And so she obliged, without a moment to hesitate.
And this morning I found her:
eyes dead, lips blue.
The smell of regret lingering over her
like a mother watching her baby...

UNDERWATER


Down, down  -
      To the wrecked vision, 
Of freedom, of endless floating
Roads, over the open ocean;
      To the once buoyant dreams
That no more bubble
To the clear sunny surface,
Light with hope.


Now sunless gloom  -
Room...

i don't let myself
advance toward the entrance
it's hazardous to contain
so cautious i'm insane
gasping for breath my
descent is reflex to
prevent the combat of
convex flesh writhing
growing while simultaneous
sewing my mouth shut
they refer to it delicately
i'm in a rut
proportionately passed
spoken too fast to grasp
underwater breath
cause & effect
much too...
