Poem thing.

Hahaha. I put this on my livejournal but I'm amused by it so it's going here too. It started out hopeful and then my mood changed and now it's kind of ironic and a bit dark.


Let us go then, you and I . . .

Sail to the sunset
Slip into the storm’s eye
While madness whirls around us
Chaos racing wild
     without, within
At the heart of the horizon
The gold, the soulful
Smoldering of scarlet
     the pools of light
Like an island in the ocean
A falling fairy in the night
Carrying promises of the dawn
To a starfish in the storm
Swallowed by the sea
     certain of the sun
All will be all right
The light won’t let him sink
     he winks
So we dive into the darkness
Embrace the cold that shrouds us
Face to face with infinite pain
     immersed
     dispersed
Whisked away across the waves
Waiting out the roughness
Of a world torn up inside
Refuse to hide the fear
     near the daybreak
A lake incarnate
A mirror of glass so smooth
Drifting on our backs
     we sigh aloud
     side by side
     alive

. . . Til human voices wake us, and we drown.
