Tears That Drown the Heart

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

Drowned by the environment


pirate humans are dragged towards rocks created by own plundering

Premium Member Don’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

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.

Drown Again

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.

Drowned

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 :)

I Drown

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

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

To Drown

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.

Premium Member If to love I must 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

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

In This River We Drown In Light

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

Mommy Left You To Drown

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

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 in wounded air
In water dark

Drown

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.

Drown Drooling Mistake

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?

Premium Member If You'Re On a Space Walk With a Helmet On You Can Drown In Your Own Sick

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

Drowning

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.

Well That Hurt

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.

In Silence I Drown Pt1

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,

How Deep Can You Dive

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

Let Drown

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.

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

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

Last Man Standing

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
