Best Poems Written by Arianna Smith

Surely

I glance at what surrounds me
And I peer up at the ocean above
It's clouds surround me
Suffocating me
Filling my lungs

It's like a drug;
This love

Heroine?
It must be;
It's what I crave night and day

I clench my eyes shut
Terrified of what I might gaze upon
In this ocean,
this ocean above.

The aroma;
I inhale and feel weary
Week to the knees
But I float on with ease

The clouds in this ocean above,
the infiltrate my lungs
Persuading me to want that love
The love that has me hung

I'm hooked;
There's no going back
With the passion that penetrates
The clouds that infiltrate
What is left that I must do?

Should I carry on?
Hold my head up,
be strong?
Continue chasing what I yearn to have?

Surely there must be an answer
to this madness
To this worry and fear
To finally hold close;

That which I hold so dear
Whom my heart wants near

"Surely," I whisper.
