Falling through water
Swimming for breath
Being sucked down farther
As she drowns to her death
Her power is powerless
It now seems like nothing
Her energy weakens
Her air turns to coughing
She struggles for a minute
Nothing more than a sputter
She tries to call out
But the words are all mutters
Her eyes finally close
As the water swallows her
Going deeper and deeper
As the calling stops calling her
She reaches the bottom
Not a move, not a twitch
They're still calling her name
As she rests deep with the fish
A splash awakens
Into the rushing river
Diving to the bottom
All his chills turn to shivers
He finds her body
So dead and alone
He pulls her to the surface
In her, air starts to grow
Then she finally awakens
Staring at the sheets before her
Staring down at the hands
That have seemed to have curled her
She looks up to the light
Finding a man at her side
Sleeping so tenderly
Seeing without eyes
She thinks of the past
Knowing this is her life
Her mind starts to spin
Holding tears that won’t cry
She stands up and stares
To the ceiling above
Remembering the dream she had
She was drowning in love
Very touching poem. There is something very fragile about the mood of this one. The heart plays a sad tune that only the sensitive soul can hear. Warm regards, Sandra
Drowning in love - great closing line. The rhymes and meter are pretty rough in places, but a little polishing and this could be a nice gem. -chuck
