The Black Sea

The Black Sea

A Poem by Raya

I thought I was stronger
Leaving the Ocean behind
Leaving the salty waves that bind
For the clear smooth river

I thought I felt the sunlight 
Warming up my back
But it was only the Sea of Black 
Taking back my sight

I thought of all the lies
So I wouldn't see the truth 
So I lay there in my youth
And in the Sea, I was just another lonely sigh

Captivating in the lines of this one...I saw the title...and thought the poem would be something about the Black Sea...literal meaning...I like how you convey here...the parting of something bigger only to realize you are a part of only something less significant...like in the last lines:

So I lay there in my youth
And in the Sea, I was just another lonely sigh

Some of us feel like a lonely sigh sometimes. Especially for us true writers. Also, sometimes it seems like our words can only hear us, once we shadow our thoughts onto paper.

Wonderful piece of writing you made. I enjoyed reading this poem. The title is good to think and words're enjoyable to read. Great job, it's a realistic piece you've written in your style. Keep writing.
