----------------------------------------------------------
Stood on the enticing bow
overboard but don't know how
A cooling comfort, tingled skin
aqua waves, immortal sin
Hanging on to flotsam junk
my vain pretences now all sunk
No life vest on, a heart in drought
whose lighthouse beam has just gone out
Still falling, ever falling deep,
chasing that elusive sleep
Saturation, breathing pains
saline reminders, drying veins
Crystal clear comes to my aid,
helps me fuel this this lone cascade
Floating through a bowl of stars,
night time reflections leaving scars
Midnight ocean, sink me far
however lonesome or bizarre
Just let me wake among the sands,
where Neptune ruled the bedded land.

Your poem has perfectly captured my feelings of a helpless freefall.
Life is indeed hard and hectic......
Ohhhh. This is haunting. Especially love this:
"Midnight ocean, sink me far" ...a mantra.
Beautiful way to capture the photo
Rhyming elegance...
Very nice!
You have put it beautifully
You have put it beautifully
You have put it beautifully
Depth of emotion profound as the ocean deep.
unsuppressed talent.

Hey Jon! Thanks for the comment - I think my poem reflects a bit of how I'm feeling right now, too. I'm usually a humorous poet.....
Hi there De - mantra's all there, I guess!
Cheers cat-tails......I love star filled oceans - loe to see it for real some day!
Sweet Berowne - always the gentleman. Thanks for popping over!
Elena - and yours, also....♥
DEE DEE - Thrice, I see....you'll be giving me a big head....lol....I'm always re-posting and not knowing!
Rel - that's mighty sweet of you!
elegantly written...but oh so sad.
One of my worst fears is drowning. This was beautifully written but so eerie! Remember those life vests!
Wonderful poem or a wonderfully written sad poem...
Nice dream piece! The reality is too harsh!
Things can be off tangent in many instances. Just can't be helped! Thoughtful take Helena!

Your words spill across the lines like golden apples.....their seeds spreading, endlessly.
Interesting picture manipulation.
I'm always impressed when people try rhyme.
Clever and lovely...overboard and don't know how made me smile...
Likewise, my dear ~~ we both ventured from usual poetry styles with recent efforts ~~ yours is a treat.
Very beautiful and clever end rhymes, reminds me freefall :D
A cool and wondrous dream Helena! I too, have been absent because of offline difficulties. Hang in there we all are! Big hug!
