Alone in the Deep
Erie silence surrounds
Hawks circling overhead
Elapsed time unmeasured
Assumption left for dead
Hawks circling overhead
Elapsed time unmeasured
Assumption left for dead
As the pressure mounts
Walls rapidly closing in
Responsibilities weighty
Timeline reached an end
Insurmountable trepidation
Resolutions remain unseen
Tiring of treading water
Nothing on which to lean
Pining for deliverance
Wishing it was all a dream
Outcome appears predicted
Overwhelming it all seems
Grasping tightly for survival
Unable to rest or sleep
Fighting impending drowning
Alone in the deep

Post a CommentI'm rendered nearly speechless. This is phenomenol; I can feel your pain dripping from the words. Hope it was about a point in time, and not daily life. I think you know, from looking at your CP page, that you are not alone, not ever. Great great poetry!
You have wonderful talent with words :) This is beautifully moving.
Good work!
I feel like this a lot! lol Not good...but it has helped to not sweat the small stuff. Do the best I can....it is what it is.
EXCELLENT writing!!!! I hope you weren't personally feeling this when you wrote it! I remember what you told me in a note though. ;-) Keep on writing your amazing poems!

Very powerful!
very very interesting art-work through your poems, painful feelings were well written by you.
What an amazing writer you are. This was very strong and the photo speaks loud and clear. Great job
You did an incredible job with this one C-Love. I don't think there is anything I could add that hasn't already been written in the existing comments, other than I think that with everything going on in the world today, many people can probably relate to this poem personally.
Wow! I agree with A.M. and jcorn both. I can feel the pain and the loneliness here. Excellent job. :-)
