#engulfed - Hello Poetry

If you still love me I beg you never let me know Refrain from turning around Let me find my peace in watching you go The moment you're lost to the horizon Reclaimed by the setting suns glow I'll mutter to myself out loud "Now you can let the tears flow" ©2024

Words float inside my head as I drift deep in an endless pass Emotions flow in melodic waves as I plunge into a lyrical sea Paper soaked in sentiments And troubled thoughts swamped my page Misery surges and I’m submerged I’m drowning! I’m drowning!

Engulfed

Words float inside my head as I drift deep in an endless pass Emotions flow in melodic waves as I plunge into a lyrical sea Paper soaked in sentiments And troubled thoughts swamped my page Misery surges and I’m submerged I’m drowning! I’m drowning!

It hit me like a 220 pound wave, that swept over and engulfed me. It consumed me but, comforted me. I was unaware of what I felt, what I was supposed to feel and what I was made to feel. The wave I could not face, the wave that made my tongue and bones freeze, the wave that stiffened my muscles, the wave that stocked my lungs with thick healthy mud, there was no room to inhale my happiness and exhale my dejection. My bones cracked like a startled iceberg, as I was struck and brought back to reality by a ship- another soul brought me back, back to reality, back to the world of changing faces. I froze in the same ocean I was born in. In the shifting realities of the world I felt like a deserted infant sitting still on the shore of a fierce and vicious ocean, commanding it's waves to attack. So it hit me again, again and again like a 220 pound wave, that swept over and engulfed me. Then again, It consumed me but, comforted me. I can always say, that the sea is at war, and we are the waves that sway, that give movement, and give life to the still world. - Kaya

The Wave Of Life

It hit me like a 220 pound wave, that swept over and engulfed me. It consumed me but, comforted me. I was unaware of what I felt, what I was supposed to feel and what I was made to feel. The wave I could not face, the wave that made my tongue and bones freeze, the wave that stiffened my muscles, the wave that stocked my lungs with thick healthy mud, there was no room to inhale my happiness and exhale my dejection. My bones cracked like a startled iceberg, as I was struck and brought back to reality by a ship- another soul brought me back, back to reality, back to the world of changing faces. I froze in the same ocean I was born in. In the shifting realities of the world I felt like a deserted infant sitting still on the shore of a fierce and vicious ocean, commanding it's waves to attack. So it hit me again, again and again like a 220 pound wave, that swept over and engulfed me. Then again, It consumed me but, comforted me.

Gripping the clouds To fly upon their wings Heaven's delight Every time it sings Tell me father Tell me now Show me the way Show me how To educate To show them the light Teach them when to bend Advise them when to fight We demand change While staying the same Want the power to fight? Pick a different flame

The Landscape

Gripping the clouds To fly upon their wings Heaven's delight Every time it sings Tell me father Tell me now Show me the way Show me how To educate To show them the light Teach them when to bend Advise them when to fight We demand change While staying the same Want the power to fight? Pick a different flame
