Drowning in a body of oxygen

And yet I can't breathe

Drowning in an ocean of happy

A happy I don't know how to feel.

Everything is as it is,
As all gods intended it.

Dying

Controlled to extremes
Unable to move
Without you leering at me
I slowly starve of reality
Of air
Suffocating
Drowning

euphoric in chlorinated water
a splash

small ducks
chatter 
             and cling

Lost Forever

Music…
 drowning the words 
 in false harmony

Honesty…
  lost forever
  inside the verse

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2013)

Playful and Sily

I see you, broken,
Drowning deep in tears you shed.
Your heart to shards left,
By one playful and silly.
Who's gone, to wreck another!
Form: Tanka

I'Ll Never Know

It's like I'm drowning
and you're the water
but somehow
you're also the air that I need to breathe
how that is
I'll never understand.

00:00 - For the Rain

The bitter spatter of the rain
Revives a road that's getting wetter.
A pitter patter sings of pain:
Makes drowning ink run from a letter.
