Waves

Why do you
only come
in waves

Temporary
waves
crashing
euphoric
waves

Cresting
and folding
onto the sea
of my subconscious

Washing away
all pain
pushed
to the safety
of a peaceful
harbor

Baptized
in a loving
embrace
that is all
too soon
replaced
by cruel
reality
above
the sea
 spray

You only
come in
waves

High tide
and
fast rising
losing
my footing
on what
is below
sinking
quickly
hit me
with
another
lift
me up
on
the surf
ride
it to
the
blissful
shores
of
eternity
away
from
the squall
of
misery
away
from
the
ephemeral
toil
of
life
here

You always
come in
waves
a momentary
escape

The waves
of euphoria
are retreating

Elusive happiness
return to me
if only in waves
forever in waves

For another time
I feel I've
reached
nirvana

A moment
of Zen
in a heaven
of my making

Just
to have it
slip away

It
always
goes
away

Why do I
seek with such
abandonment
the fading pleasures
of a corrupt existence

The waves
of euphoria
have
retreated
again

The high
evaporates
in their
absence

My sea
calms
to its usual
despair

You
only come
in waves
always
in waves

This is another thing to relate to, again very well spoken and great word choice.And i agree with writing mojo, I love the way you view the world in such a poetic manner. I think we all do but at different depths and understanding, and you have a vast array of understanding. Please keep up the great work.

Now, I would ride that wave straight into the eye of the brain storm you rain in..to admire people the way you do..poetic to the depth of a tear...trickling off your face in momentum to existence....good stuff

This flows do very well and the words chosen are excellent!! 'pushed to the safety
of a peaceful harbor' I love it.

flows like the breeze through the open sky watching and mimicking the flow of the river oceans and sea ,,, beauty your writing is to me but that beautiful sparkle of light you see in he morning as you are scared to open your eyes , to the shine of the sunlight lovely ....

"You only come in waves always in waves".... I love it...x

Its hard for me to think of the words to describe this wonderful piece. It seems youve perfectly captured the finity of all things good. How impossible they are to grasp...and you've arranged that idea into a beautifully fluid and seductive piece

[Helpless]
