The ocean.

I fell in love with the crashing sensation,
The loss of control adds to my obsession.
It’s not my fault that I had to surrender,
The push and pull forced me way under.
Bubbles form like broken memories,
Breathing deeply right back within me.

Etching pleads deep within the sand,
A savior?… Someone to cradle me?
Evaporation decides to claim its crown,
I’m suffocating in my attempts to breathe.
Place the hand of fate upon me…
The sinking feeling of ships descending.

Prayers ignored by the divine laughing,
All hope decays upon the sunset.
Return the light within my being,
I’m fading like starlight holding no meaning.
I’d beg for salvation but pride plagues me,
I’ll suck it all up and disintegrate softly.

I’ll breathe deep and sink deeper,
I’ll love hard but fall further.
The depths offer no protection,
But I’ll pretend that I’m still living.
A ghost draped in hopes despair,
I’ll shout out hate but whisper prayer.

This is really haunting--a perfect picture of a man slowly sinking into the stormy Abyss.

I have absolutely nothing to say other than the fact that I am in love with it. The last line was a really powerful one. Straight to my library. Nice work, as always, my friend. You write from your heart and I am in awe of it!
