Tumble

Kind of a dark poem. Was feeling pretty blue when I wrote this.

Keep on crashing in my back

ocean waves never lack.

Sea of dark blue purities come and make my knees weak

salty water find my spine drag me under one good time.

Little grains of sand

find my body and kiss my hands.

Ice cold water steal my breath

leave me drowning in regret.

Pins and needles down my throat

solid gulps that hold down the chokes.

Body tumbling beneath the waves

grazing sandy bottoms with hair hiding my face.

Surface me once to take in the sight

An empty beach, leaving me alone to fight

the ocean waves alone.

Swallow me up whole.

No one can hear the screams of terror.

Tumble me once more dark blue sea.

Let my body be

battered, beaten, and torn under the waves.

Wash it up on a brighter day.

Raw emotions conveyed in your poem...I love the use of the sea, in your poem, as well.
