Underwater

by BlueEyedMystery   May 19, 2011


A swirl-
in a swirl,
of a fallen embrace.

The pillowed current takes it away,
Lets it fall into a dream [nightmare?]
of suffocation and dancing stars.

I just need to know where you are.

My love,
my love.
Call out to me in this delicate death.
Can you find me here?
Or is this a place for the beaten.
You're not welcome.

Cerulean diamonds
in a glittered wasteland.
There's no life here.
Is this what I really wanted?
To be lost,
Underwater?

    *Loved this part sooo much! There were so many reason why I picked this poem as 1st place. One is you took something so simple as "underwater" and created this wondeful story from it. I love it when people do that. You imagery was very well penned and not complocated at all, same for the dicition.*

    ^^^I like the image of a fallen embrace; it reminds me of Rodin's Fallen Caryatid carrying her stone

    ^^^I think it would improve the flow and not lose your sense of uncertainty to remove the brackets & insert a hyphen instead

    Or is this a place for the beaten.
    You're not welcome.
    ^^^This could be taken in at least three ways, but in the sense that it is rejecting him, it does not fit with the sense that you are searching desperately for him. In the sense that you do not give recognition to his thanks, it is a non-sequitur. In the sense that he is excluded by dint of not having been beaten, it should be clarified: They do not welcome you here; you are not allowed here, or something.

    ^^^ ?Glittering?

    There's no life here.
    Is this what I really wanted?
    To be lost,
    Underwater?
    ^^^Good finish! Despite my suggestions, I think this is a top notch poem! 5/5
