Swim Poems - Poems about Swim

I asked my shadow to swim on the surface. I didn’t want it to sink in fear, from the ripples pulling it down, fading into gray below. I asked the silence to hold a chord until it could resonate. I wanted echoes to break through the empty spaces where sound had once lived. I asked the silence to...

Drowning in sorrow because you are leaving me. I jumped in too soon. As I flail about, will you toss me a life ring, or a concrete block? Both are solutions to my current state of mind over losing you. The first prolongs it, the latter, ultimately, brings on my demise. I need to purge this constant feeling of longing for something that’s gone. This stagnation mode compromises my future and pulls...

Steadily swimming She flashes a grin Doc in a boat Take's a note she won't surrender. She wants to win finds strength within.

Sitting on the hot asphalt blacktop in miles of traffic, feeling lost and alone. People around me doing the same, everyone seems so sullen and confused. Cell phone junkies don't know if its day or night in their mundane lives, I guess not much matters anymore. My mind drifts from one thought to another, thinking what's it...

Yeah! Far away your love can fly, But forget not, I have a wing, My hands can swim the sky so high, To be there on your throne as king. Yeah! Far away your love can fly, But forget not, I have a wing, Like stars, I'll twinkle in your sky, Many sweet songs, my mouth would sing. Yeah! Far away your love...

Drifting, drifting we float, in azure abysses aglow Drifting, drifting we glide, amidst aquatic artistry's flow Drifting, drifting we go, where coral constellations grow Swimming, swimming we surge, through sapphire seas serene Swimming, swimming we swirl, where silent symphonies convene Swimming, swimming we soar, as shimmering schools careen Deeper, deeper we dive, discovering diverse domains Deeper, deeper we delve, dreaming in diaphanous...
