Leaning on the rail,
Clasping a clutch bag of dreams.
Sea spray blends with tears.
Propellers churn memories,
Of Love betrayed and submerged.

A Distressed Man

Riding a local train 
through the Bangladeshi scorching heat 
an old man told me 
how his houses were submerged 
into the Bay of Bengal at night.

Stagnant Pools

There was no place to wade
in the stagnant pools of Corona.
The virus sank our feet into the mire.
Help was on the way, as we submerged
into the cesspool.

Basket

A basket submerged in 
river
is delighted to see itself
brimful of water.
But this is
a fleeting fortune.
It entered the river empty,
and sure to come out 
empty.

Vacuous

submerged in blankness
helpless to escape bereavement
frail and broken, hollow eyed

hope is a remnant
the burden of countless tears
lines etched deeply in her face.

sea of life
pulsates on passion waves 
         sapphire serenity drapes its depth
I sink slaked
within the submerged soul
          search for the sublime sanctum

As he held her back carefully while her face was submerged,
All around the father and the daughter were lightning and thunder.

Incommunicado

Incommunicado in the divine,
Plunged
Submerged
Emptied
Bewitched
Transfixed
Transposed
Forgotten
Unknown.
The man next door tells me
To stop making so much noise.
Ouch.

To Ginger... a Girl I Once Knew

To Ginger...

I had a glass of voluminous spirit...
hoping to taste the ripples of time...
but all i could taste was the bitterness of ginger submerged in the sourness of lime.

In the midst of a stormy ocean, God is the anchor,
rescuing one whenever submerged in a bottomless abyss.

Rain

North West Moons comes,                                                heavy rainfall occurs

Surface Tension

I can feel the surface tension clinging on,
Pulling me back.
But when I slowly slip under the water,
It all feels the same.
If I wasn't looking,
I'd never even realize I was submerged.

Premium Member Selection Dejection

From the golden lamp a genie emerged
For a thousand years he had been submerged
  Said, 'I can give you vast wealth
  Or I can give you good health'
But either one by itself is a scourge

We shelter secrets, holding them close 
and encrypted. Hidden truths,
like submerged rocks that create 
snapping undercurrents and choppy, 
white-capped rapids for navigating affinities.

Premium Member The Love Affair

Hearts bond with loves passion
Surrender in us
Desired thoughts of joy

She struggle’s with the memories
Of the mistake
Her mind submerged rushes
To unfold the guilt in her eyes
Of the love affair
