Mare Nexum

This is a poem exploring solitude and it's isolating feelings in the ocean of life.

Where is connections bond, 

alone I am tossed, 

a raging tempest blows, 

desperate I hold on to promises, 

this drift wood keeping me afloat, 

crashing tides drown out screams. 

vulnerable I am naked before the world, 

chilled to the core and abandoned, 

where is north, 

my compass broke, 

the stars have hide themselves,

God hides his face. 

Staring in to the abyss, 

I hear its sirens call, 

that temptation for the other world, 

will there be an end? 

Who's hand do I hold, 

I am a child lost in a crowd, 

calling for mother. 

Where are her loving arms to run to, 

desperate I reach for anything that will reach back, 

I touch the blackness, 

frostbitten I pull my hand away, 

where is the warmth of another, 

where is the safety of loves embrace, 

I feel this ocean has no end......
