The Deep Poem by Terry Finch

The Deep

Rating: 5.0


Submerged within this peaceful sea
where quiet death has crept.
The surface shimmered above me
from tears as Angels wept.

Rest and shelter in gentle arms,
her rapture encircling.
Serenity calms me with her charms
as lonely Sirens sing.

There's safety in the dark abyss;
the peace I yearn so much.
She lures me with an impassioned kiss
as I surrender to her touch.

Your wonderful poem is quite beautifully written, Terry, and filled with purely outstanding imagery in every verse. It paints a sublime picture that every reader can well relate with. I do not know how long you have been writing poetry, but I noticed that you do not follow any fixed syllable count in your poetry. Doing that allows for a better rhythm in poetry. Still, since this poem is written in the free verse style, a similar syllable count in each line is not necessary. This poem is expressed very well as it is. Carl.

There's much beauty in nature and it takes a clever eye to spot it...The deep sea is a bewitching seductress...a lovely write.
