Dive

The surface tension tends to still hold my heart under.

Easier to breathe with your point of view,

Silver linings coruscate, and I’m diving with you

Crystal-clear waters colored midnight blue,

You’re flooding my heart, and I’m diving with you

We look to each other for a little alleviation,

I need a mental brace against the world’s provocation

Alight with discoveries from our internal exploration,

Let’s take apart our thoughts in the art of conversation

Constructed like clockwork, we feed our fascination

I could feel it with you - the mutual isolation

 

It starts with a chance, a spill, and then a slide

Then we were talking with our minds wide

I wish I could paint you and all your emotion

From brightness in humor to the violent black ocean

 

Easier to breathe with your point of view

You’re flooding my heart, and I’m diving with you

 

All of our yesterdays, I know they were true

The person you showed when I was diving with you

But time takes its toll, and innocence transforms

The way I miss you is everything forlorn

 

I’ll watch you, from behind the same eyes

As the light I knew slowly dies

And I’ll watch you, walking in the shallow end

This water spirals, I lost a friend

Memories are just pretend

 

And I wonder exactly how much I spilled

When I tried to seem so very strong willed

And when you ask why, I’ll say I’m bled dry

 

Sick enthrall

I regret it all

 

I wonder if you will turn around

If I stay in place without making a sound

And you’ll look at me, and say I’ve changed

I’ll say with the same voice that I’m painfully estranged

 

Hopelessness crashes into me, I’m in the choking pool

You left me laying in puddles and feeling like a fool

Lovely imagery, I could picture every word - even the emotions! Very colorful and expressive, best work of yours I've read yet! Please continue, if for therapeutic sake :)

I agree, it was like a frolic in a color storm. Strong lines with enough room for one owns interpretation. Well penned.

I love the colour of your sentences. They bring beautiful images in my mind and let me know your emotions. Thank you.
