"Waves of Mercy"
Waves of mercy
Long since past
Lost in seas
Dark and vast
The water rushes
O'er my head
The tide rolls strong
The scent is death
The body, pure
Scarred and broken
The healing words
Cannot be spoken
Broken lips
A knotted tongue
A shattered heart
And drowning lungs
Waves crash over
Harsh, unceasing
No more! No more!
In silence, screaming
Pristine waters
Crisp and blue
Where lie they now
Gold days are through?
The dark, the dirty
It's all that's left
A mighty roar
Escapes my chest
Pulled deeper, deeper
Out to sea
No one hears
My desperate plea
No one hears
My violent scream
The sandy shore
Is but a dream
Waves of mercy
Long since past
Lost in seas
Dark and vast

*HUGS*
It was one of those ones that just seemed to write itself.. flowed right out with very little thought. I love it when that happens because often the only way I begin to even know what I am feeling is to write poetry, but it's something I've never been able to do well when I try to force it.. so it super sucks those days when I really really need to write but can't because nothing comes.
