![]() WaterA Poem by JAK![]() I like playing with imagry, trying to evoke not just feeling in my readers but also a sense of time and space, feeling like you're there in the poem itself.![]() I sink to my knees in this sea of dust, While swirling eddies around me flow bits of time and thought which rust - Then fall apart and sink very slow. I struggle to breathe and even to think, Held fast by my own hot pain, A sea of sand I cannot drink - Teased by every individual grain. Hot tears whisked away by wind Before they even fall, Put out like sparks my mind now thinned, Tossed about like a China-made doll. I struggle to move but bend at the knees, My palms burning hot with desire - No one around to hear my pleas And turn me ‘round into a liar. I gasp and cough in this arid life, Held fast in shifting form, All fight gone, no longer strife As I inevitably accept the norm. Freed now at last by my admission I wander equally lost, Sad it is that never to fruition Will my dreams be realized, despite the cost.
