Welcome to the World

I came here within her arms on the brightest side of life.
The sunrays bent through the blinds.
Her eyes twinkled with a passionate love no other could hold
With just the touch of a finger, stroking my tiny hand.
I felt that love; I was engulfed in a love that seemed to have no end.
I was welcomed into the world with her pleasant smile,
And the sun showing how life could be perfect
In an ocean of mixed colors, only sparkling.

The ocean dimmed as time grew on.
The sparkling halted and the love diminished
That single stroke that shared the love became weak,
And eventually the finger couldn’t move anymore.
Then the brightest that life could become
Became the darkest that it ever could be.
I was portrayed as the victim of an unfortunate world,
Where I was alone and the darkness was conquering my vision.

I hid in a deafening world that I screamed within
Without my echoes returning to me.
The silence was painful to hear
As the anonymous noises aided me through.
I yearned for the love I once felt,
Knowing that I would never come in contact with it again.
The lively ocean rippling with sparkles
I will never gaze so far into that I become lost in wonder.

I was unwelcomed into the world.

Crashing waves, rising tides, a world I could drown within.
Let the water fill my lungs.
Let the currents take me away to a better place.
Let me drown…let me fall into the dead ocean of absent love.
The water shall sink me into its depths like a led weight.
Somewhere within its core, I shall find what I’ve been looking for.
If my final breath should be exposed here,
Then my grave should be with the once healing waters.

Will I ever find it?
Will it ever find me?

---

Warmth wraps around my body.
A familiar sensation embraces my heart
Slowly, I open my eyes.
Sunrays bend through the rippling water,
It glistens with powerful intensity.
The darkness has a bright pathway for me,
Where I am welcomed into the world once more,
For the love, I yearned, has found me.

I like the lines: "..the brightest that life could become
Became the darkest that it ever could be..."

The poem`s full of emotions. And, the title`s perfectly suits the personality of the write. Eventually. Many versions of life`s dark mysteries i`ve seen into the fathoms of your insights. Quiet impressive. Nice imagery.
