a mermaid perching on a rock
in the vast but forlorn sea
salty tears trail down her pale face
her weep seasoning the blue water
and burn the slashes on her face

perhaps i should have not stared
and let my heart pulsate at her song
seducing me into her pool of sodium
pulling me under the ocean floor
alas, sending my lungs aflame

now i drown in her reservoir of pain
as she carves her scars on my face
still, i am charmed forever to believe
she was stealing my breath away

Sailor! Sailor!
The waves
Don’t wait,
The water’s cold
And so is fate.

Sailor! Sailor!
Taste the salt
As it goes down,
The tide is swelling
and I shall drown.

The sudden breeze of Autumn fell on that faint light that I  drowned.
Lost the perks of my being on a silent affair ,
and I stood there , soaked with broken words from a fire.
I stood there while the clown of time bleached my soul.
I stood there while the wounds of dawn became my crown.
Hey, take these senses , nothing but restless phantom of one , that is gone.
Tree leaves from earth's ground.
Takes its leave from what can’t be undone.
I lie there while the air whistles pain to my ear.
The pain I receive in vibrations turns into immense sensations.
Ants walking through rocks to lift me up.
I smell the pure despair that lies on me while I fashion a body from dozens of ants , and place my soul in , if I can.
Flowers bring good feelings so they say.

And she lay, draped across her bed letting her own chaos engulf her till she had drowned in it all.

A.C.

Shook jaded soul asleep
Silenced with hazy thoughts
Never fear and fight the unknown
Ground quaking as images talked
Don't know what happens now
Skin is a canvas for dreams
These stained people and endured places
And weary worms bloomed from instinct
They figured out how to rule my nerves and muscles
Surrendered to the hearse in my head
Burning sunsets weigh down my nightmares
To floods that drown me in this bed

I love oceans.
I would sit on the shore with massive waves hitting this body of mine
With no one to see and no one to be with.

My lighthouse tried to fill in and gleam,
Yet I swerve,
Yet I ran away from the luminescence it gave.

I leap into the ocean and drown myself into the water,
And within I struggle
Within I suffocate under.

I am terrified of oceans
Yet I feel secure
Yet I could feel the warmth it provides inside.

I was a storm
But you made me want to be a river
the way you kept trying
to hold me
as if I wasn't an ocean
that could slip through your fingers
as if I wasn't a tsunami
that crashed into you
every time you tried to swim
as if I wasn't washing you back to shore
in warning
before you dove back in
you had to keep your head above water
just to hug me
but hugging you back
meant you drowning in my arms
I was a storm
But you made me want to be a river
