Drown Poems

You And I

In blue water I'm going down
swept away by the tide all sense left behind
in dark waters I might drown
caught in the current out of my mind
holding my breath and hoping
my love for you will stand the test of time
out of my depth and hanging on
for the day you say you are mine
in over my head

Held, Anchored I Drown

Verse 1
For some time, have I floated—mildly adrift.
One killick holds me—not too deep, not too swift.
Though life threw waves, to force me down—this slightly rusted metal had held me.
I thought I would be safe… until other anchor bound.
In the anchor—turned weight; the drowning became fate.
I fight the surface, the struggle, the search.
The air—thick with sadness;

TEMPER

TEMPER
My love, 
I am pained by my pain which leaves me in pains
Oh!. 


Have you not drank your fill
Of my will's will? 
The tug ever drains me

Temper! 
Temper my love! 
Are you listening? 

My mind is a mine
Mined In fields 
Of my faces 

Oh! 
By whom you ask? 
Oh! Please you know better of my

The First To Drown

The Earth isn't dying—no, she's screaming, a sound you've stopped hearing.
she cried when girls walked miles for rusted, tainted water,
when ancient forests become forgotten, ash–filled pyres,
no worn map ever dared to mark. 

In my homeland,
we don't fear the tempest's furious might. 
We fear the silence –
The hollow echo of empty, cracked wells, 
the desolate stretch of barren,

In Water Dark

Image : 3
In water dark, I learn to drown
A silence colder than the sea
The ghosts I fled still pull me up
In water dark

He haunts the edge where I should be
A memory I never chose
Still carves his name inside of me

He finds me gasping, cold, stripped bare
Each time I hide, he leaves a mark
I bleed unseen

Drown With Me

Drown With Me
 The world is full of judgment.
 All eyes are on us.
 No matter what we do, it’s wrong to others.
 They should look in the mirror as it shatters.
 We can escape to a place far away.
 Out in the country someday.
 A journey into the unknown.
 A place where no one

Premium MemberIn a field of bitter thoughts, where sunrises drown in shadows of silence

In a field of bitter thoughts, where sunrises drown in shadows of silence,
We are often surrounded by faces sculpted from the clay of boredom,
Heavy heads like potatoes forgotten in the barren soil of banality,
Perched on shoulders wearing suits of shadows, tasteless, lifeless,
And their lives slip through like a thin thread of sand in the hourglass

Drown Me

The swirling deep blue of the water before my pained eyes,
Reminding me who I am, 
You stand next to me, 
A single tear rolling down your porcelain face, 
Glistening as it falls,
The water below the cliff catches it happily, 
For it feeds on sadness,
Woe only causes it to prosper, 
Causes it to grow, 
You face

Drown

Sinking, lost, into the dark blue
Unknown abyss rises, without a clue
Panic rising, heart is pounding
Terror reigning, no sounding

Gasping, choking, lungs burn to ashes
Waves crash down, throat closes in dashes
Bathed in green despair, sinking blind
No longer here, a watery shrine

Fading slow, I let it all go
A final farewell, as my life ebbs low
Drowning feeling, a last

Premium MemberDon’t Drown

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

Sea

I am inherently patient,
I just go with the flow.
I have many dark secrets,
No one will ever know.
Sometimes I can be shallow,
Sometimes I'm dark and deep. 
When you look at me closely 
Your face is what you'll see.
I do not have a sweet side,
I am saltier than most.
Some say that I am frigid,
As cold as a

Don't Let Our Love Drown

This day shouldn't be so bleak
Find some strength- don't be so weak
We can work it out if you
Let me in I'll see you through
Whatever the days will bring
Our love can get by anything
I promise we will not fail
We won't sink, our love will sail
Through the stormiest of seas
Holding on tight is the key
Don't let go

Ascension Day

We sat within the murky depths;
belief just gripped belief's belief.
But now we're up, we rise, rise, rise.
Our stay there had been not too brief.

But now we know our notions were
a world once served by gods and heroes,
something that was needed then,
but now we thrive on ones and zeros.

It’s such a welcome cheerful breath!
For now we've

Premium MemberTo Drown Or Sail Away

Thoughts drifting
   through my mind
Memories
   that make me blind
To what I have
   in life today
They pull me in
   and I fade away

Back to a time
   that has long past
I retreat to the child
   who's future seemed cast
By others actions
   unable to
