The Silent Sea
Lance Barnwell
19 Aug, 2016 01:36 PMSo I slip beneath the waves of the silent sea And it's such a cold and fucking lonely place to be I search, I reach out to the glistening surface But my fumbling fingers can't grasp, can't get no purchase And you look down on me, with your red eyes glaring You're refracted black on black, with a hunchback's bearing And I can't hear, I can't hear a fucking thing As the jellyfish bob and the stingrays sting Now my sweet air is leaving in desperate bubbles Taking with them all of my toils and troubles And the fish are staring and are gently touching As my skull is cracking, under pressure crushing Can't see you now, there's only the moon/an exploding star As I sup 'til sated on this noxious ink black tar So I search for god as I'm beyond the reach of science But all I hear is the usual deafening silence... So now I'm a prisoner of the silent sea And it's such a cold and fucking lonely place to be There's still crushing pain, but I'm not breathing I'm alive in brine, but I'm not leaving You'll never stop, for you there's naught to cumber With your eyes afire and your special number You'll walk the dead lands of your silent see But one day you'll return, you'll return for me

I love your poem, however, it would sound and flow a lot better without the cuss words in it.

I think this poem is very well written and, yes, the cuss words may have made it not flow as well but it also showed more emotion. Very well done.
