THE BEAT

 (Source: thisiscolossal.com)

Swoosh goes the record,

Swirling to its beat.

Sounds flowing through me,

Can you feel its heat?

Mesmerized by it,

I can’t seem to move.

As it turns and turns

I’m caught in its groove.

SPARKLE FOR ME

Source:words-in-the-paradise 

Sparkle for me ocean blue.

I’ve come here only for you.

Your beauty tempts me this night.

I have given up the fight.

Wrap you cold arms around me.

I long to be light and free.

Pull me deeper inside.

I have long lost my pride.

Your water feels cold and nice.

I’ve become a block of ice.

Icicles hang from my hair.

But I don’t have any fear.

Warm me.

Soothe me.

Hold me.

Feel me.

I trusted you.

I had loved you.

I am nothing.

I am no more.

THE BLUE WAVE

A blue wave of ocean.

Coming closer to shore.

Bringing with it darkness.

And yet still so much more.

I’m tempted to ride it.

Take it to the limit.

I want to see its strength

And if it’s a gimmick.

The blue is almost transparent.

A glass of cold water for me.

Hitting me in the face with salt.

Lifting me as high as can be.

Goodbye to the town of Oasis.

Goodbye to my perfect paradise.

Squashed by the hand of The Dead and gone.

By a mere roll of the deadly dice.

ROCKS

I wade in the cold,

waves up to my waist.

Rocks loom before me,

victims of the raging sea.

Honed to perfection,

faces to the sky.

They stand in silence

as I join their line.

LEAVE ME BE

It is here.

A force to be reckoned.

Growing by the second.

Thrashing under the bridge.

Leaving death in its wake.

Leave me be.

My dying wish isn’t

to be consumed by the sea.

A DREAM

Radiance by IsacGoulart

Rays of sunshine color my world.

In shades of yellow and green.

Palm trees wave in the breeze.

Cooling my face on this summer day.

I bathe my face in the cold water.

Water droplets let loose in the humid air.

Soon my body is floating on the water.

As it carries me downstream.

I don’t care if my clothes get wet.

I must follow my dream on this hot day.

ONE WITH THE SEA

d-iagnose

Cold ripples stroke my legs.

My toes sink deeper into the sand.

I stand transfixed by the beauty.

In awe of the majestic waves.

They grow taller and fuller.

Pulling me deeper into their thrall.

I fall to my hands and knees as I let go.

Letting the water take me farther.

All I can hear are the thrashing waves.

Taking me farther away from home.

I can see the blue sky above me.

And the fish swimming below.

Will I become one with this new family?

One with the sea and its life.

MY OWN OASIS

Does this place exist?

Is it an illusion?

I need palm trees.

My own oasis.

An escape from the world.

Empty of people.

I can see it.

Feel the hot sunshine.

Cold water on my toes.

A paradise so sweet.

Honey on my lips.

I’m there right now.

Don’t bother me.

HOPE AND DESPAIR

Take me in your arms.

Hold me close.

I want to feel your darkness.

Take me to the limits.

Of your hope and despair.

Into the cold depths.

To the wetness beyond.

TEMPTING

Sparkle for me ocean so blue.

Shine for me so bright.

Your beauty is entrancing

and much too tempting.

I want to throw my body

into your long arms.

Let them wrap

around my cold body.

Pull me deeper

into your smooth depths.

No god to defeat us.

No demon to lure us apart.

I’m coming inside you now.

My body feels like ice.

Icicles hanging from my hair.

I’m numb from the cold.

Warm me.

Soothe me.

Hold me.

I’m dying a slow death.

I had trusted you with all my heart.

But my heart has stopped pumping.

I float alone in the cold water. 

No one to save me.

I am a fool to have trusted you.

I am a fool no longer.

I am nothing.
