The Dive

The Dive

A Poem by Robert Tusitala O'Neill
"

This is from 2002, so delving deep into the sea of my youth.

"
The Deep

Underwater's where I long to be
Letting the waves crash over me
Nothing to hear but surging sounds
While cool clear water everywhere surrounds

Take me away
To the bottom of the sea
Leave this world's ills
High over me

Clean in the waves
In the water where I fly
Float gently back and forth
Watching fishes swimming by

Upon the seafloor
Smooth white sand where I lie
Like a dream where I'm naked
But needn't care why

Take me away
I need it today
Let's go play
At the bottom of the bay

Under the sea
Where I was made to be
Come in and see
There's space for you and me

Author's Note

Robert Tusitala O'Neill
Be kind, this is not meant to be brilliant. Just honest. It is also eleven years old. I'd like to think I have improved, but I refuse to hide my early work. I think it is important to see where I have come from.

I'm foolishly romantic. I like realism and surrealism in all different forms of art. I feel that when you can use reality to show your truth, then you have achieved the most powerful form of art pos.. more..
