Drowning in Paradise

Drowning in Paradise

A Poem by Elizabeth Porterfield
"

You tell me what it's about.

"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Drowning in the words

I can't escape.

But why would anyone

run from their paradise?

Isn't it all that it's

Made out to be?

Perfection?

Peacefulness?

Beauty incarnate?

Or is your paradise

Made manifest in the storms

Of life?

In the terrible floods?

The beating winds?

The lightening and the thunder?

I will never know for sure.

Now I'm sinking under

Your paradise,

Entering my own,

Becoming things existing,

That I have never truly known.

I am one with the whirlpool

Of Words

That is drowning me.
