Strange Sea

by Melissa   Jan 18, 2009


It feels likes I'm living under water,
little fishes kiss my nose
but oh, how the seaweed
can strangle a soul

it's getting darker
as the air forgets to breathe

Bella Luna no longer lends herself
to these hands
searching aimlessly
for grassy land

I'm drifting
without an inkling
through this moral liability,
a strange sea
deaf to all soundness

swimming never felt so dead

    What an image you left behind in my mind.
    Its like a frightful feeling yet so very sad too.
    A touching write that tries to grasp at life..
    take care.

    This piece of yours was quite outstanding in my opinion. Again your work never ceases to amaze me. Each line etches something new within it to really grasp onto the readers attention. I found the meaning of the poem simple yet strong entwined into one.

    "it's getting darker
    as the air forgets to breathe"

    what strong emotions you have bounded into this poem. Expecially in the two lines above. For some reason they lasted so beautifully in my mind while creating a dark yet tranquil feeling over the atmosphere. Well done. This was definitly an amazing read. -Mel
