Submersing Poems


Premium MemberThe Power Nap

At night, I kneel before the dark 
Say my prayers and park 
Next to the swimming pool of dreams 
While losing consciousness 
I sing songs pretending to be 
The Dream Master. 
I dive into the dreamworld 
Submersing myself into lucidity 
Attempting to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep. 

Daytime sleep is different 
Usually starts around 1 or 2 o’clock, a siesta! 
Usually, I begin by laying on my back 
Close my eyes, maybe wear a solid batman mask 
And prepare myself. 
There’s a huge pool of dream energy 
An aquarium bubble on the opposite side of Earth 
That’s ½ that’s in the dark ... all sleeping 
In this gigantic Dream Bauble 
So far away ... I lure it to me 
Singing my dreamsongs and as I close my eyes 
I lose clarity then regain it by “seeing” 
This Dream Bubble floating toward me 
I reach out and put it on like a backpack 
A Dream Battery Pack and I’m hooked in 
So much dream energy pumping thru my brains 
Both halves being zapped simultaneously 
So powerful, I only need about 
45 minutes to an hour 
To fully recharge! 

I love power naps!

Topsy-Turvy

The world is topsy-turvy
And from what I can observe,
There’s so much that can unnerve me;
Every pitch thrown is a curve.

So much time I spend conversing
Focuses on things adverse.
In despair I keep submersing
And it just keeps getting worse.

Yet today, the sun is shining
And I’m feeling fit and fine,
So I’ll take a break from whining
And I’ll stick to the benign.

There is music, there is reading;
There are pathways to proceed
And if hope is what I’m needing,
I can find some, guaranteed.

Mesmerizing Mermaids

The seas softly speak with voices that talismanically tweak,
Magical maids in their mystique porpoises of their physique…
Ambient aqua-marine waving seductresses of their craving,
A splashing sylph spraying through wandering waters braving…

Goddesses of the dousing deep show finesse as they leap,
Enchanting when they weep collecting desires for their keep…
Landing on our sandy shore all eyes on the deceptive décor,
Mystic Mermaids to adore Lorelei longing from the Ocean floor…

A siren seducer submersing a temptress of the water traversing,
Below lavender skies nursing her delinquent desires dispersing…
Mesmerizing mermaids silently sailing with their mermen tailing,
A sorceress in their scaling intoxicated by their Venus unveiling.

I'M Going Somewhere

I longed for you
you're coming
finally
I wait as you wash over
my being
totally
submersing in your presence
taking me away from them
those people
around
spectating
I longed for you
for years
tearing at my own soul
I would cry inside myself
My mind was a mass of vines
Now you're coming
You wash over me
I'm going somewhere

Thy Grace Hath Made Me Whole

Trapped 
Tearing at the threads
Trying to tear through 
Trying to be free

Suffocating
Silently sucking air
Slipping away into sorrow
Sliding down and sinking under

Done
Drowned 
Dead
Done

None
No more
No use
No good

But sparks
Shining 
Shimmering 
Saving

Wanting
Wanting to win
Willing to work harder
Wishing He would take the wheel

Turned
Turned to the Lord
Trusting he will tear through
Trusting he will take me 

Saved
Savior saved me
Suffocated my scared thoughts
Saving my soul from submersing into the sea

Grace
Grace gave me life
God gave me a gift
God gave the gift of grace and saved me
