Coming To You

Coming To You

A Poem by Aehr

Drowning into darkness
Drowning in the sea
Drowning into hopelessness
With you coming nearer to me

Even though I'm dying
I'm happy to let go
Even though I'm crying
My happiness doesn't show

For one last breath
Will lead me to you
One last breath
And I can be with you

With your arms in mine
And mine in yours
My long-lost dream will come true
I will be forever with you

there's such a melodious tone of voice in your poem. the rhythmic quality, the poignant feel and the intensity of desire have been reflected by your poem with complete earnestness. at the end, it comes as a bit of a shock according to how i comprehend it. "My long-lost dream will come true; I will be forever with you." That, i think, is to say once the lover returns, both lovers will die in each other's arms (?). it's extreme and has a poetic, tragic end indeed although the reader can sense a great relief felt by the speaker throughout the poem.

thank you!
Such a haunting and a yearning... I felt your pain, sometimes when we never expect things they happen, and it will be right before us. Nice job!

I like the flow of the poem and the powerful emotion and desire in the words. The poem had a desperate feel with a positive ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
