Submerged
I don't know
what I'm doing.
Going through
the motions
I'm sinking
in your ocean
drowning
my soul pushed
and pulled apart
I want to tell you
how I feel but I
don't know
where to start.
God knows I could
look at you all day
until the waters
rise above and I'm
totally submerged
in the misery
of being so in love.
Why can't I
just have

Once Submerged Beneath the Dark, Accursed Sea
Once Submerged Beneath The Dark, Accursed Sea
Darkened winds beyond the long and hidden veil,
Rising sea its calm repose then casts away,
From some distance away, moaning church bell
Calling faithful and sinners, come lets pray
Tho' Fate with its power cries more in store
Here I stood, stoutly battling the unknown
With feeble words, I did each plea implore
For greater

Submerged
the old sea-pool churns out fun
frantic heads flick side to side, limbs flashing, thrashing
some are slicing, cutting through
elegant submariners chased by water-wake
here is one of distinction!
stylistic splasher, appendages pummelling
plunge under, submerged from sight
absent for longer than you are prepared to look

Submerged
Toes dip in
to the deep water below.
I can’t move to get out.
Inch by inch
slowly sinking,
I raise my eyes to the sky.
My chest feels tight
I try to steady my breath,
Fearful of the surrounding solace.
I am still, unmoving.
It keeps coming.
Cold and unfeeling.
Lifeless without peace,
my head under water.
I am succumbing to the dark.
Denying the blackness…
drowning
deep
down
dying

Submerged
I was about almost four
Did not yet know how to swim
I was playing by the pool
Unsupervised, I fell in
I'm sure I fought screaming
To stay atop of the surface
Splashing hectic and fast
No one close to have heard it
Knowing the fighter I am
With no memory of the event
But I bet I fought long
Until my last breathe

Submerged In Shallow Streams
Shimmering silhouettes haunt.
Shadow stands still,
observing his soul drift towards
the tree of melancholy.
Its morbid image stands silent,
but screams inside the mind.
I could write a million pensive poems,
yet the pen could never express,
how emotions remain unexplained,
because suppressed silent theories
and words left unspoken mean
regretful raindrops fall to the
rhythm of each somber sigh.
Tears create shallow

Submerged Under the Clock
Sounds creep into my ear, sounds that have wandered
over these valleys, mounts and plains, once debased by ruined man,
sounds that creep from the crevices of these wrecks, they have wandered-
over time and seasons, under the sky, now painted cyan.
They tell me of mortal spoils,
how the living scorched the earth by mindless strife and broils.
They

Submerged In Thought
Submerged in thought, my mind flows.
I'm a majestic river
with all it's curves and bends
running over rocks 'round obstructions
gathering strength and speed.
Above I catch a glimpse of the sun
shimmering off the eye of young cygnet
so white and pure without commitment
calm, loving and carefree
looking to soak up all my nutrients.
to be young once again
with

SUBMERGED IN FEMININESSENCE
e valued price of
precious key
unchaining doors imagined locks
that set free
a girl is born
the stage is set
manoeuvring moves
that control and direct
discerning a world
through perceptive eyes
instinctively she knows
all truth from lies
then
we fail to….

Submerged In Sadness
I was always disrespected,
Treated as optional person.
I was ignored many a times,
Betrayed a lot as if I was enemy.
No one feeled my absence, rather they celebrated.
If I go, no one called me back.
No one asked me for a gift.
I was like a piece of cloth,
wen I was

Thoughts Half-Submerged
Missing the Ocean of my Dreams
Got hooked on the Ephemeral Enigma...
Created was my own Universe in a man-made container
...Round but, Oh!... so Narrow...
My sooner or later corpse will become blue.
Ocean Blue???
or Black and blue...???
I rinse my brain with blue play-on-words
just to forget the Reality of seagulls

Submerged In Fantasy
Don't wake me up with whispers devastating Soul
Eyelids? Two petals of withered, love-thirsty rose
I dance in white and black with fins in Paradise
Ephemeral Self defending Purity of nameless cloud...
Don't trace my steps contouring our Dark horizons
HE watched through branches when we played “Sunset”
I told a homeless seagull: “ You know? Don't need to
