Wisdom In Fathoms

Poetry is a body of water, 
With the title being its' surface;
The context deep or shallow. 
It's as far in the water,
One chooses to go...


Drowning In You

I want to feel the water
of your youth wash over
me, absolve me. Droplets
of your fresh body of water
fall across my face in a
cleansing baptism. You cry
tears of joy and they wash
me away.

An Ocean Wants More

An ocean wants more
More than the ocean tides
Sacred body of water to ensure
Strength and power, gaining more, inside
Breaking waves and barriers, as we explore
Bringing your soul towards this peaceful shore

Vast Emptiness

~

as I gaze out upon the
tranquil surface of a moonlit ocean
I am taken by the vast emptiness
that I see

and I wonder if this
perpetual body of water
is taken by the vast emptiness
that is me

Premium Member A Body of Water

I came across a body of water -
not a waterfall or rain.
I'm not sure if 'twere a lake
or something else.
I'll go with the something else
as 'twould be more exciting...
I saw a handsome man there
floating a raft towards his doom.

The Body of Water

By the pond the fireflies fly,the water it shines from the sun in the sky.                                 
Ripples come from the fish below,the wind makes the cattails blow.                                      
What a simple pleasure in my life,freeing me from my pain and striff.

Premium Member Pick An Object In The Room 2nd

On a painted wall
In a dark brown frame
A photo is shown 
One Evergreen tree
Standing in water
Across from this tree
Is a small patch of land
With three Evergreen trees
In a huge body of water
Or a large river
With the land showing
On both sides trees
With a mountain view

Premium Member Autonomy, a fitting end

The cement is heavy when mixed with the loss of autonomy
It's dried around my boots; I welcome the body of water in front of me
Where my afflictions will feel each drop enter my lungs, and then I'll be free
Of the horrors, plagues, and false words, that are brought by living honestly— FML A.S.

Who’s to say what you are,
When you’re just another body of water
Trying to reflect the stars.

Who’s to say who you are,
When your true form is a crystal prism
Painting all of your true colours into existence. 

Who’s to say what we are,
When our souls are from the stars
Living for the sake of bringing light into being.

My Dark Wine Sea

Gallant ship
All hands on deck
I need brave men 
To hoist the sails

When stormy waves 
Crash against thy ship
A great body of water
You intoxicate me

I worship Thee
I drink of thee
Drench in thee

Unveil your power
Of the sea and
Show me how 
To master thee

Dark wine in thee
Break me free 
My dark wine sea 
That possesses me

Buying Time

Nibbling at a piece of moon
I lost the zero line
of my violence
mapping the lone
jungle.

The waning light
flaunting the peaks
for docking
the missile
in dark.

The body of water, 
prior to the tempest, 
will invite the brown
creator to pull
the ropes.

The past reappears,
shows presence. I
search word anchors
to reach
buoyancy.

No Strings

A fast in hurry. you
pretend that you
were dead.

The legend survives,
putting the land’s blood
in the grass roots.

The tremors had started
in the blue flame. A lunatic
calls for the moon to explain.

The tides were not coming ?
Watching hopelessly;
the decline of sinkers.

A watershed of humility.
The river has left the
body of water.

Ground seepage A small start mere drainage Grows to a mighty river rushing Flowing some three-hundred-fourty-four miles a rushing From Atlanta to the Gulf beauty accenting Through ragged Spewell Bluff it slithers Filled with fresh rain water Flint River

Overseas Romance

Tedious of ephemeral dreams
I prefer to be in a coma
If my thoughts are where you reside
I shall close my eyes for eternity
My empyreal cerebrations
ostend the painstaking reality
that a body of water
has unlinked us both
Thus far, I have survived
without your company,
which is what keeps me sane,
and secure; That if I were
to cede it, I shall go sightless
And life shall lose it's felicity

The Sea

The Sea:

The sea, she is my wooman,
She laughs and waves,
The sea, she be beautiful but deadly,
To sailors like I.

De sea, 
She calls to me,
Begs me to sail again,
Across her body of water.

She sings to me,
Day after night,
Night after day,
She be trying to lure me away.

That day will come,
When her voice reaches me heart,
I will go after her,
To sail de sea once more.

Holding the Waves

Poverty of thoughts
beats you endlessly.
What  was the other form of violence ?

Body of water bursts.
There was an absentee lover 
trying to overtop the levee.

Pounding of chest
was figurative.
Someone was dying of hunger.

It was a great paradox.
The eagle was rising
for a sudden dive.

Labyrinthine. An intricate
argument. From which-
side will come the death ?

Anatomy Down

By a HAIR, the bullet misses
There's more than meets the EYE today
But the river's MOUTH is too wide, 
My NECK of the woods far away

The weariness hard to SHOULDER
This BODY of water my bane
No where to go, with heaving CHEST
Hard to STOMACH the fear and pain

The rifle BUTT again is raised
This last LEG of my life, ends here
My KNEE jerk reaction to cry out,
At the FOOT of one who kills us deer!

This miracle snake
Never seen before
In translucent form
Not on earths floor
 
Body of water
Gravity made
Missile its creator
Clarity it's grade
 
This blind water cobra
Soluble shaped stance
Rising
Will have you entranced
 
Reddened mix
In it's water base
A freak of nature
In this heavenly place

The Chill

The cold winter evening air.

The howling wind through the trees.

The mist slowly rolling over the cold frozen body of water.

The cracking of twigs in the nearby surrounding.

The yellow eyes staring at the movements.

The dark corners and voids of the unknown.

The fast pacing heartbeat causing the blood to rush to the brain.

The nothing.

The quiet....

Do you feel it?

Do you?

THE CHILL....

Drying In the Sun

The ivory hue of the dove-colored rain- cloud as it hovers; the opaque glitter of the sunlight as the rain-drops are shaken off of leaves after the rainfall. 

The sunlight emerging as storm-clouds glissade into the heavens the tint of light-blue Robin eggs. A moon bow alit on a body of water, immaculate…

A snowy Egret's spread wings in a summer afternoon
as they lift- they are an elegant white wedding-her veil, train…

Premium Member River Child

The monster Kappa infrequently jumps out of its watery hideout to pull pranks as well as attacks only women. It, too, pulls people in the water to drown them. The color, figure, size and features vary clearly of this river child

Right By The Ocean

Written By:  D. Collins 7/18/25


Amidst this chaos I'm at a loss for words.
I need to go to the water and regroup my verbs.
Hear the sound of waves splashing in my ear.
And an Atlantic breeze blowing through my hair.


Yeah 'Mon....'Dat right 'Dere is exactly what I need.
A long stroll by the water just to help me breathe.
A body of water with thousands of miles in between.
That little piece of the earth folks have never seen.

Inspired by a good friend of mine.
Conor Jordan's artistic eye and 
Spoken knowledge helped me greatly.
His wisdom speaks oceans.
Our first collaboration of many...
There’s wisdom to be found,
In the depths of a poem.
If we choose to submerge our mind.
We hope you enjoy! Thank you
