Subject: Drowned Sorrow


Drowned Sorrow

Looking into the surf as it crashes on the ragged shore
I smell the salty mist as it surrounds my pensive form
Scalding the sensitive tissue of my sinuses and eyes
Lending double cause to tears that from sorrow pour
Like oval crystals down my cheek to fall on granite stone
Rock, as hard and heavy and cold as my heart, forged
In the fires of love's molten core then spat of to chill
And harden, rejected, no longer needed, dying alone
Pounded by the ocean's storm-raged waves of grief
Drowned in self-pity, buried and diluted by the silt of deceit.
The gull's laughter, directed at my misery, mocking my pain
Making jest of the love I wished for life but only tasted brief
Laugh you dismal fowl while you may, I will not suffer this long
You may soar on the waves of rage's heat lifting from this torn soul
But soon these hot currents will chill and pull you down to hell
Where my soul of blackest despair and yours of mocking belong
Enough of this banter, I'll not give satisfaction to your gloat
Come with me as I cut the air and descend in flight equal to
Yours in power and grace and mockery to terminate in saline
Blanket, engulfed in its energy, breathing it into my throat
And lungs, drowning the fire of anguish inflicted me by her
Shallow unfaithful heart. Free of this burden, never to be
Burned again by love's heartless flame nor ridiculed for
Loving her too much. It ebbs slowly as life begins to blur

Brian
