all night journeying

i spent all night journeying
to the center of
my soul.

the tears i tasted there
were salty
with despair.

and the petals of my heart
were
fall-
ing.

[it's not fair, but true.
how my heart loved you].


i spent all night journeying
to the depths of
my seas.

and swam through the waters
of the deepest parts
of me.

[what i found was hope
and delicate pieces of
purity]


i spent all night journeying
to the sweet fragrance
of an embrace.

the taste of another's lips
reminds me
i still breathe.

[and my grieving heart
is allowed a moments time
to exhale the pain
it holds inside.]

Here we go again another powerful and heartbreaking poem that is so amazing in it's structure and words...

i spent all night journeying
to the depths of
my seas.

and swam through the waters
of the deepest parts
of me.

Oh I love your comparing the serenity of swimming in the ocean to that of rediscovering a part of you lost from loving someone as you find the sunken treasures of self love and inner piece deep inside allowing you to the strength to move on.

One of the most talented writers I have ever read... EVER!!

I really like this one, it reminds me a bit of ee cummings but less weird.
