Beyond Ocean Depth

Beyond Ocean Depth 7 miles carried off by ocean waves Drowning on my final days Waking up with seaweed on the lips Aimlessly traveling down another trip The question dare not to ask A journeys life ending my task I see no butterflies, on my endless walk Crossing shadows with a tormented talk With no fear to all that appears suddenly it disappears Gazing evil in its eye A slow-motion cry Pacing at the edge of all things Entering a "Devil's realm" of the Ying A low beam within the sun Stepping in a sandbox of fun My life dragged right back into quicksand Where as a child she let go of my hand Wondering deeper in my invented abyss Where I followed a kiss not to resist Without the guilt to grasp for air I observed something no one should bare My body lost in the ocean drift Hiding away at the bottom of oil mist Sadness hit harder when reliving my life in a flash Knowing exactly when my life hit in a tragic crash Drowning in the depth of an ocean spill A careless destine joining those with no will SKAT 6-7-10

This gives a real feeling of floating and yet sadness and tragedy. Just like the mystery the sea holds. I was lost in the drift of the words. Love, SuZ

I chose to read this as the first poem from your works. Life is really like an ocean and it's sheer immensity often leads us...well. .to our death! Anyway, that's food for a discussion. Meanwhile, may I forward my appreciation for such a beautiful poem. It speaks volumes about your poetic prowess and as a newcomer here, I will surely be going through all the other pieces gradually. Hope you have got my mail.

SKay, Wonderful imagination with being hauled off into the sea for miles, reminds me of the Life of Pi, but so much nicer in poetry.
