An Ocean Of Love

Well?..

Deafening silence.. Fills her mind..

Dreams and illusions... Shadow reality..

Beautiful bird.. Wounded heart...

Yearning.. To fly again...

An ocean of love... Found and lost..

Thirsty.. For just one drop..

Wings clipped.. Legs chained..

And a home that lies.. Oceans apart...

Fighting against Time.. Against life..

While they tease and test.. Her heart..

Chilling winds...  Destructive storms..

She braves them all.. With a smile...

Mad hope... Blinds my eyes...

As I try in vain.. With my soul and heart...

My delusional mind.. Walks the path..

Still denying.. That it's lost...

Confused, it wanders.. Embracing insanity..

As I walk a fine line... Between reality and sanity...

This is beautiful. The only thing I would suggest is change "it's" in line 16, to "it is". This just makes the poem flow a little nicer for me :) This is such a sad poem but so wonderfully written that I can't help but like it. If this is about you, I'm sorry that you have to feel this way. It gets easier! :)

Thank You. Which line are you talking about? :)

[Jade]

i knew i forgot a word, the last line

[TheLostMind]

Interestingly, that line is somehow my favorite one there.

[Silmara McGarry]

I noticed I almost stopped breathing as I was reading it, and thought that maybe I would be speechless. Seriously, I really love this poem. I was so into it from the very first line. And the ending, perfect. Beautifully written!

[TheLostMind]

Love is a vast sea of emotion and the current often takes it in directions we cannot control. Love is what makes us beautiful.

I loved your poem :)

[TheLostMind]

Indeed. Love is what gives us a reason to live. Thank you for reviewing :)

Amazing poem. Very real... Loved it

[TheLostMind]

Thank You Manasa.. Well, sometimes, madness can be cured by insanity :P. That's why it is important to embrace it.

[ManasaC]

Yes, I agree. You are welcome!

Such a powerful poem depicting what depression feels like. I have often felt blurred between reality and sanity and you described the feeling really well. I like the line about the beautiful bird with the wounded heart yearning to fly again. We often feel that destruction of hope and always crave the flight. Beautiful poem!

[TheLostMind]

Thank You. Well, all of us feel blurred between reality and sanity. In fact, the actual line was "walking a fine line between love and sanity" :). Because love, is really close to insanity. :)

Wow, very profound. I can relate deeply to those final two stanzas.

The battle of surviving always wins
Because it's about remaining strong no matter what ..... though the emotional jungle inside can drive a man insane ..... for hope to come through and take lead ..... man survives it all

[TheLostMind]

Yes. I think that you are right. Thank you :)
