Tears that drown the heart are like a blue sea,
With waves of pain crashing onto the soul;
Flowing with an anguish beyond control,
With lonely eyes underneath the debris.
Drowned by the environment
pirate humans are dragged towards rocks created by own plundering

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
Faith serves as ballast
anchoring my calmest self -
stress loves to perturb my still.
Faith holes make punctures
leaving me to drown at sea -
stress floats to watch me drown.
I want to go to the sea
Let the water wash over me
Be pounded by the waves
Opening my mouth
So the salt I will taste
Wish for the drowning
to bring this life to a end
So that I will never
Have to drown again.

From unconsciousness
I rise, sputtering
Warm liquid erupting
Belched from the lungs
Choked out, retching
Airways blazing
Rasping, gasping
Writhing for oxygen
That time I fell asleep
In front of the telly
With a mouthful of tea :)
silent kisses
escalating warmth
petals of roses
volcanic eruptions
in the outer stratosphere
spatulate fingers intoxicated
searching in the aqueducts
dark moist soil waiting
your luminous eyes
entangled in new
rain dark pools
i drown in bliss

You sadly drown in sorrow
Because, you have been led astray
Following bad company was not a good idea
You have drifted away
Window of opportunity will close
There will be nothing for you to gain
Nothing but a melancholy scenery
Along with thunder, lightning, and rain
She walks along the empty beach,
She looks over the ocean, what does she?
She sees a ship sailing by,
But alas- just a trick of her eyes
A single tear drips down her cheek
And hits the sand beneath her feet.
The sea breeze ruffles her linen gown
And draws her to the water, the water to drown.

If to love I must drown
the hard truth is
I loved you more than you ever loved me
that was my downfall
everyday I drown in thoughts of you
too much to bare
tired of swimming against the currents
I breathe deeply
letting the water take its grip
I am more at peace with nature than with you
I left you to drown
In the pouring rain
And I had counted on you falling in a puddle
And never resurfacing
I found my way back to your room without you
And similarly, without a key
I kindly left a towel outside the door
Incase you made it back alive
And I hadn’t counted on it
But you’re still breathing
Form:
In this river we drown in light
A doorway blocked from me
Yet open to dry eyes
I can only hear your hands
Clutching that splintered wood as water
Rushes to ears like war
I cry at the notion
Of you stepping through that white door
Frame as you sip whiskey
In the next room over from me
Tv mumbling comforts
For every gnashing flashing jaw
For every child that sees no saw
For every memory that wasn’t made
For every thought that wasn’t gained
One drop
One single drop of blood
One for every child unnamed
One for every soul left maimed
There is one drop
One single drop
Of blood into the ground
Mommy left you there to drown

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 in wounded air
In water dark
The waves look so inviting,
I am now up to my knees.
Im tired of always fighting,
The force that I must please.
The sea cries out my name,
My waist is now below.
It hurts so much, this pain,
So just call off the show.
The current pulls me farther,
My feet have left ground.
This is exactly what I wanted,
Because now im going to drown.
wielded wits wept
bruising bounty belch
felon feelings fetched
taunted callous cleft
hoisted hurts bled
moaning mist melts
meagre metamorphoses squashed
pluming punctured prank
tolling toiled trance
masticated memory lurched
basked coup's birth
vying voluptuous verge
braced ocean breaks
drown drooling mistake?

i was explaining this at the
breakfast table
my wife pulled that electric chair face
but i consider
that it is better to
be adventurous than
cautious
my son takes another bite
of his jam on toast
and my wife
gives me those
ultraviolet light looks
she is our ozone layer
preventing
us from ripping apart
our
delicate
alveoli sacs
i am her wrinkly moon man
Drifting through this ocean of life, alone without a hand.
Reaching desperately for help, with envy for dry land.
Only dark seas in sight, and not a thing to eat.
Water fills my icy lungs, while I frantically kick my feet.
Near to death, far from humanity.
I can hardly think straight, I'm bordering insanity.
Nearly out of oxygen, running out of air,
Going under slowly as I'm tangled in my own hair.
On a cruise ship in the sea
breaking blue waves peacefully,
yet once we land and I descend
the coral moves and shifts and bends.
Out comes something small and sweet
but packing punch; I know I'm beat.
A jellyfish: minuscule and bright
it shocks me and I'm full of light.
Grappling to the surface now
with water dripping off my brow,
"that sucked" I think, "It hurt like hell."
My trip to Jamaica sure was swell.
I'm drowning in this
silence,
I'm screaming for
help,
Yet no one hears me,
When will the pain
end??...
I wanted the pain to
go away,
But not like
this....
I don't want this
kiss of death,
All around me
there's silence,
Silence, silence,
It's everywhere,
I see people
talking,
But I hear no words
or sound,
Only silence,
Someone...anyone,
Save me from this
silence,
I'm drowning,
I'll always be
drowning,
In this silence,
this void is consuming my every bit of energy
preventing me from being satisfied
with anything my hand touches
arms expanding forward
I reach out to thin air
and grasp the emptiness floating
with spaces in between my fingers
but I'm headed no where
emotions plunge like ice bergs
disintegrating into cold water
spiraling down into the abyss
how deep do I submerge
before I cant see
anything, anyone
anymore
Upon the dusk’s cruel wake, crushed beneath the waters’ break
I allow my body limp and lifeless to flow as if mere current passing
Never do my limbs grasp the shallows for their hopeless sake
And as for the question of “why?” I have grown tired of asking.
From the depths, I hear the ocean’s bellow
Her stomach grumbles as she drags me down
But I do not panic, for the dark be mellow
No use to swim, and so I let me 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 release
In the sea, is where I rest in peace

Goya's dog does drown
The wave is far too high
With enough struggle, you can swim in salty pain
But when you see the path ahead
You know the dog does die
When the cycle isn't one of life
And every tide grows colder
You can shake, and you can shiver
But eventually within time
Goya's dog does die
I swam the seven seas
And did not learn a thing
I can't even beautifully cry
Even in an era of romance
Goya's dog does die
When in the cradle
or a boat that rocks
life's lessons are learned
at the school of hard knocks
where these things are taught
you didn't oughta
1., stand up in a canoe
when it's in the water
as you may pitch
overboard
go down
and nearly drown
&/or,
2., stand up in a hammock
slung between the trees
as you could fall
all out
but merely skin your knees
unless you land upon your head
and then you may end up dead
